Revolutionary Mexico: The Coming and Process of the Mexican Revolution.

This acclaimed reinterpretation of the Mexican Revolution, based on new evidence obtained in Mexican and American archives and on the historical literature of recent years, is a major and original contribution to our understanding of Mexican history. Perhaps Hart's most significant contribution is placing the Revolution in the context of worldwide nationalistic uprisings which occurred in the early 20th-century in places such as Russia, Iran and China. An impressive piece of scholarship.
