Here?s one from the vaults. Not only is this is the original, Ceinfuegos Press Edition of this seminal biography/analysis of Zapata, but it?s the US edition, published by Black Thorn Books, in 1979. Collectors take note. And even if you aren?t a collector, it?s still an excellent chance to snap up a wonderful book, at a very affordable price!

Very informative

Peter Newell gives us a good look at the impact that Zapata had on the Mexican Revolution. He shows us that Zapata was a man of honor and respect who unlike the other key figures of the revolution was not interested in ruling the people, but instead wanted to serve them. His battle was for one thing only, that the poor of Mexico have a better chance of having a good life. In this short book, Newell does show us this, and also shows us how all the different factions at one time or another betrayed him, or didn't take him seriously. That was the downfall of some of this men. He also tells of the historic meeting between Zapata and Villa and gives a detailed description of what transcribed. Of the two, Zapata was the one who kept true to the aims of the revolution and that is why he is still a symbol of resistence to the poor of Mexico today.
