Recounting the decade of bloody events that followed the eruption of the Mexican Revolution in 1910, Villa and Zapata explores the regional, international, cultural, racial, and economic strife that made the rebels Francisco (Pancho) Villa and Emiliano Zapata legends. Throughout this volume drama colludes with history, in a tale of two social outlaws who became legendary national heroes, yet -- despite their triumph and only meeting, in 1914, in the Mexican capital -- failed to make common cause and ultimately fell victim to intrigues more treacherous than their own.
