No Customer Reviews
Una larga cadena de infamias se extiende por la historia de M xico y, lamentablemente, no escasean las cometidas por pr ceres, h roes nacionales y caudillos, e incluso por los llamados "padres de la patria"
En todo tiempo y hasta nuestros d as, sin perder de vista a Colosio, la lucha por llegar al poder y mantenerse en l a cualquier costo ha producido alianzas inconfesables, corrupci n a niveles inauditos y asesinatos a mansalva... o maquiav licos, como el cometido, tal vez, por medio de un veneno, contra Benito Ju rez. La cadena de traiciones se extiende a lo largo del siglo XIX, de Morelos a Santa Anna y hasta dar con Porfirio D az, quien entierra al liberalismo mexicano y, a pesar de haber llegado a la presidencia enarbolando el principio de la no reelecci n, se reelige a su antojo hasta ser depuesto por el estallido de la revoluci n. Ya en el siglo XX Victoriano Huerta traiciona a Madero; Carranza traiciona a Zapata; Obreg n traiciona la revoluci n y su principal postulado: sufragio efectivo, no reelecci n, pues se reelige en 1928, y adem s traiciona a Carranza, a Villa, a Adolfo de la Huerta y a Francisco Serrano, hasta que el propio caudillo cae muerto, baleado y traicionado, entre otros asesinos, por Plutarco El as Calles, su querido paisano y gran amigo. En esta obra, Francisco Mart n Moreno narra y analiza estos y otros episodios con base en una minuciosa investigaci n documental y con un estilo gil, ameno y vigoroso, convencido de que es fundamental conocer a fondo la historia de nuestro pa s, en toda su cruda verdad, para tratar de alcanzar una mayor salud social. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A trail of infamy stretches through Mexican history; sadly, much it committed by national heroes, caudillos, even the country's so-called "founding fathers." Throughout Mexico's history to the present day, through the assassination of Colosio and beyond, the struggle to seize and hold onto power at any cost has led to unexpected alliances, unprecedented levels of corruption and brazen killings. Some of these have been downright Machiavellian, including the rumored poisoning of Benito Ju rez. The chain of betrayals extends through the nineteenth century, from Morelos to Santa Anna and Porfirio D az, who stamped out Mexican liberalism and, despite winning the presidency by championing the principle of no reelection, clung to power until the outbreak of revolution. The twentieth century continued the trend, with Victoriano Huerta's betrayal of Madero; Carranza's betrayal of Zapata; and Obreg n's betrayal of the revolution and its main rallying cry: effective suffrage, no reelection. The latter's treason culminated in his reelection in 1928 and subsequent betrayal of Carranza, Villa, Adolfo de la Huerta and Francisco Serrano, until he met his end at the hands of, among others, Plutarco El as Calles, his close friend and fellow Sonoran. Francisco Mart n Moreno relies on meticulous archival research to analyze these and other episodes in Mexican history in this accessible and compelling volume, motivated by the conviction that understanding the history of one's country, warts and all, is fundamental to building a healthy society today.
