Story
“Pancho Villa,” people whispered at the beginning of the 20th century, "can march 100 miles without stopping, live 100 days without food, go 100 nights without sleep, and kill 100 men without remorse." The legend of Francisco Villa is full of heroism, tragedy and romance. It is the story of a poor farmer boy who became a bandit out of necessity, after avenging an injustice on his family; a military genius who flew from an oppressive government to lead the largest revolutionary army in his country's history, and defeated dictatorship to become Mexico´s liberator, only to fall again in disgrace when his troops abandoned him or were massacred by the enemy. Pancho Villa and his cavalry, Mexicans point out with a certain amount of pride, invaded the United States, and although they came and tried to capture him, they never found him. This is, at least, the version that most of them know, but it's certainly not the same as in their textbooks. The story of Francisco Villa bypassed official censorship from generation to generation, like leaves sailing at full speed on the surface of a stream.

Story
Because of our shared English language, as well as the celebrated origin tales of the Mayflower and the rebellion of the British colonies, the United States has prized its Anglo heritage above all others. However, as Carrie Gibson explains with great depth and clarity in El Norte, the nation has much older Spanish roots - ones that have long been unacknowledged or marginalized. The Hispanic past of the United States predates the arrival of the Pilgrims by a century, and has been every bit as important in shaping the nation as it exists today.

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. It is a three-act drama full of politics, persecution, and war, not to mention earthquakes, signs in the sky, and even spiritualist sessions, while being populated by larger-than-life villains, international spies, and the universally known figures of Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata.

Story
The renowned fantasy and science fiction writer China Mieville has long been inspired by the ideals of the Russian Revolution, and here, on the centenary of the revolution, he provides his own distinctive take on its history. In February 1917, in the midst of bloody war, Russia was still an autocratic monarchy: nine months later it became the first socialist state in world history. How did this unimaginable transformation take place? How was a ravaged and backward country, swept up in a desperately unpopular war, rocked by not one but two revolutions?

There are many tales of his military might and strong character, there are those who see Ernesto “Che” Guevara as a hero and the greatest socialist mind of his time, but there are those who see him as a ruthless military leader who executed people without trials and who violated several human rights. Very few men have been subject to as much mysticism and admiration as Ernesto Guevara. His image has been used as the symbol for revolution, freedom, and rebellion in every corner of the world.

Centuries ago, Spanish conquistadors searching for gold and new lands encountered a group of independent city-states in Mesoamerica. Sophisticated beyond the Spaniards' wildest imaginings, these people were the Aztecs, the Maya, and related cultures that shared common traditions of religion, government, the arts, engineering, and trade. In many ways more advanced than European nations, these societies equaled the world's greatest civilizations of their time.

In 1965, the US government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the 20th century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful.

A little more than 100 years ago a Mexican peasant named Emiliano Zapata gathered a rural army from the plantations and villages of southern Mexico, seized the lands of the haciendas, and began to distribute them among the peasants of Anenecuilco, his hometown, in the state of Morelos. Outraged and impatient with the ceaseless destitution of the indigenous peoples at the hands of the landowners, he had decided to take justice in his hands.

Four decades later, Cesar Chavez's likeness graces postage stamps, and dozens of schools and streets have been renamed in his honor. But the real story of Chavez's farm workers' movement - both its historic triumphs and its tragic disintegration - has remained buried beneath the hagiography.

Publisher's Summary
The life of Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata was the stuff that legends are made of. Born and raised in a tiny village in the small south-central state of Morelos, he led an uprising in 1911 - one strand of the larger Mexican Revolution - against the regime of longtime president Porfirio Diaz. He fought not to fulfill personal ambitions but for the campesinos of Morelos, whose rights were being systematically ignored in Don Porfirio's courts.
Expanding haciendas had been appropriating land and water for centuries in the state, but as the 20th century began things were becoming desperate. It was not long before Diaz fell. But Zapata then discovered that other national leaders - Francisco Madero, Victoriano Huerta, and Venustiano Carranza - would not put things right, and so he fought them, too. He fought for nearly a decade until, in 1919, he was gunned down in an ambush at the hacienda Chinameca.
In this new political biography of Zapata, Brunk, a noted journalist and scholar, shows us Zapata the leader as opposed to Zapata the archetypal peasant revolutionary. In previous writings on Zapata, the movement was covered, and Zapata the man got lost in the shuffle. Brunk clearly demonstrates that Zapata's choices and actions did indeed have a historical impact.

Emiliano Zapata Feedback
The storyline of this book provided a good historical perspective on the life and actions of the infamous Emiliano Zapata. The narrator's pronunciation of most of the names and places in Mexico were horribly done, to the point that I was left trying to figure out who or what the author was writing about. This mental catch up took away from me enjoying the book as much I expected or wanted.

The Man Who Inspired a Revolution.
Would you consider the audio edition of Emiliano Zapata! to be better than the print version?
I have not read the book, so I can't make that comparison. However, I really enjoyed Charles Norman's narration. He has a Tex/Mex delivery of a classic story teller.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Emiliano Zapata was my favorite character, not only because he was the focus of the story, but for the complexity of his character and the times he lived. My wife grew up in a town named "Emiliano Zapata", so naturally, when I came across this book, I had to see who Emiliano Zapata was, and why there are so many towns named after him in Mexico. Having lived in Mexico and reading this book, I now have a better understanding of why owning land is so important to rural Mexicans. Land ownership for campesinos was the main reason for the Zapata revolution. Many of the land reforms that have taken place in Mexico have been because of Zapata and his revolution. Mexico is also a country mired in class warfare. The haves, and have nots. Zapata was from the uneducated have nots, that the educated class looked down upon. To his followers he was a revolutionary leader. To the moneyed class he was a bandit.
Which character – as performed by Charles Henderson Norman – was your favorite?
As mentioned above, Emiliano Zapata was my favorite character.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Are today's conflicts any different that those of 100 years ago?
Any additional comments?
Disclaimer. I was offered this book in exchange of a fair unbiased review. For folks looking for a good historical novel, related to turbulent times during the Mexican revolution, this is a great read. This book gets into great detail on the progression of the Zapata revolution. Mexico is a very complicated country with a rich history of varied influences. On a base level, the conflicts in Mexico reflect other conflicts worldwide. I could not help but compare the Mexican revolution with current world developments. Can you compare the evolution of a revolution between Zapata's time and modern upheavels in the Middle East? How do these revolutions get subverted and hijacked by other parties? Only by looking at history can you get a better perspective on the present. I loved the narration. Charles Norman has a nice Tex/Mex story telling delivery. A lot of names and words in Mexico are from Spanish and indigenous indian orign,so pronunciation is a challenge. Charles gave it the right level of Mexican pronouniciation without losing an English listening audience. The big surprise for me was the fact that the U.S. sent troops to Veracruz, Mexico in 1914. Interesting times. For me, esta novela es muy bueno!

Very personal account of Emiliano Zapata.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would certaintly recommend it to a friend who has any interest in learning a little more about the Mexican revolution and the wider political state of affairs in Mexico from the turn of the 20th century. Very well written yet not too heavy with statistics/dates as to bog the casual historian down.
Would you recommend Emiliano Zapata! to your friends? Why or why not?
I would only recommend it to them if they have a more than passing interest in the Mexican revolution or in Zapata himself.
What about Charles Henderson Norman’s performance did you like?
Charles Henderson was a good choice for this audio book. He ready excently and was perfectly suited to the book and the subject matter of the book. He has a calm reading style and helps get the narrative across with his style.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Emiliano Zapata: A REAL revolutionist!
Any additional comments?
Overall I quite enjoyed the book. I wasn't widely exposed to the Mexican revolution and it's players and this book was a good insight into one of it's major players. I recommend it. This review is from my review copy of the audiobook, and is unbiased.

"History of a Revolutionary Hero"
This was a very interesting and technical listen. I enjoyed it greatly as I'm a native Texan yet never thought too much about (and don't recall learning much about Zapata in school). This audiobook especially paints the larger picture of Mexican history. There's so much to absorb in this book but it really gives a great deal of detail as to put the listener within the historical setting.
I was impressed with this book enough to look up more photos of Zapata and he is a very recognizable figure with his large sombrero and mustache. Whenever he talked the people into growing sugarcane, that made me remember someone in my family giving us kids stalks of sugarcane from Mexico.
All in all, my opinion of listening to this audiobook is that Emiliano Zapata was and is an important figure in Mexico's history even to this day. There are a lot of minute details that are definitely worth the listen including his relationship with Pancho Villa and others. Totally fascinating.
Charles Henderson Norman did a nice job narrating this audiobook. He had a reporting style which was informative. He spoke clearly and his Spanish pronunciation was impeccable. Really great work.
Audiobook received in exchange for an honest review.
