Revolutionary Days: A Chronology of the Mexican Revolution

More than a straightforward compendium of people, places, events, and dates involved in the Mexican Revolution, this reference is designed as a guide to the basic sources, allowing readers to draw upon the best of modern scholarship on the topic. A complete, chronological listing of the persons and events of the revolution, it begins with the births of the main personages in the 1800s and continues through the final battle of the revolution. References are compiled in a clear, concise, chronological order, cutting through the otherwise overwhelming nature of an event that sprawled across the length and breadth of a country for more than a decade. While even the most magisterial of works dealing with the revolution are only able to focus on a single figure, movement, or particular region in the country, this volume ties all the complexity and chaos of the world’s first popular social revolution together, putting historical details at the fingertips of students and scholars.
