After the overthrow of the brutal Huerta, Venustiano Carranza came to the forefront, but his provisional government was opposed by Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, who come powefully to life in Alan Knight's book. Knight offers a fresh interpretation of the great schism of 1914-15, which divided the revolution in its moment of victory, and which led to the final bout of civil war between the forces of Villa and Carranza. By the end of this brilliant study of a popular uprising that deteriorated into political self-seeking and vengeance, nearly all the leading players have been assassinated. In the closing pages, Alan Knight ponders the essential question: what had the revolution changed? His two-volume history, at once dramatic and scrupulously documented, goes against the grain of traditional assessments of the \"last great revolution.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Knight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803277717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803277717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.55d","brand":"Alan Knight","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990365012223,"sku":"9780803277717","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6fcbeb9b-e395-4f4f-aa11-b90ed8607492.jpg?v=1683304260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mexican-revolution-volume-2-alan-knight-9780803277717","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
