The Mexican Revolution was a defining moment of the 20th century. The Mexican fight for democracy, equality, and justice sent shockwaves around the world. No other episode in its history has left a deeper mark.

He was once America’s ally. He became its most wanted man. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson sent the U.S. Army into Mexico to hunt Pancho Villa—a rebel general, a folk hero, and now a bitter enemy. What followed was no simple manhunt, but a tangled campaign through brutal deserts, hostile villages, and the bloody aftershocks of the Mexican Revolution. Once Upon a Time in Mexico traces the path from revolutionary brotherhood to betrayal, through the eyes of those who lived it—including a young George S. Patton, who fired the first shot of his legendary military career on Mexican soil....
