Excerpt:
Confusing power shifts and agrarian struggles define the Mexican Revolution. Author and historian Timothy J. Henderson provides a fresh perspective of the period from 1906-1927 by weaving together historical context with the first-hand accounts of foreign-born hacienda owner Rosalie Evans. Evans returned to Mexico to maintain her land holdings despite post revolutionary attempts from all sides to grab them. Evans is a wily, unpredictable and anachronistic character who manages to strike fear and curiosity in men around her.
