Mexico (The Modern nations in historical perspective) - Softcover

Mexico's early history is marked by violent rebellion, social upheaval, and meagre progress. By contrast, twentieth-century Mexico has successfully embarked on a path of peaceful revolution which has the Gross National Product as its hero instead of the tradional Villa or Zapata. In this volume, Robert E. Quirk provides a vivid account of Mexico's often stormy growth from semifeudal states states to a modern, united nation. "Mexico today is, without doubt," asserts the author, "the most dynamic country in Latin America and a leader among the developing nations of the world."
