informative and insightful

I had several misunderings of Pancho Via. Most were rumors of him being a drunk, womanizer and a thief. As with most legends of famous/infamous people there is some truth. I am left with a more favorable understanding of him as a revolutionary. His passion for his country and people is evident in this book. He is often compared to Zapata and many say there is no comparison. Both these men are an extraordinary part of Mexican history. The conflict between the poor and wealthy Mexican people is similar is many developing countries. These men were not perfect but had a passion for the hard working people of Mexico. They had a vision for equality, dignity, respect and a balanced distribution of wealth.

Well written and equally descriptive

Could have hired someone who speaks Spanish to read it. Names were not pronounced correctly.
