A "Best Book of 1998" Library Journal selection "This is the definitive work on Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa.... The work is exhaustively researched and scrupulously documented; it also makes for engrossing reading, as Latin America specialist Katz takes hold of the legend, gives it a good shaking, and comes up with something far more complex."-Library Journal starred review "A splendid work that can be enjoyed by the general reader and by scholars of the period on both sides of the border." -The Journal of American History
