"A masterful book....McLynn tells a stirring story and tells it so well that you can hear the strains of the Mexican patriotic standard, 'Zacatecas,' as you read it. His is an enthralling work, a page-turner that is sophisticated."-- Austin American-Statesman, "Exhaustively researched....The author makes this informative, insightful study even more compelling with his witty and fluid prose. McLynn grasps so completely and communicates so deftly the nuances of government and corruption...that this book feels less like a history than a great story, as exciting as a Saturday serial Western." -- Publishers Weekly, "Refreshing....Frank McLynn has plunged into an important episode of the modern Mexican experience--namely, the social and political revolution that rocked the country for some twenty years, cost two million lives and reshaped its institutions." -- Wall Street Journal, "Exhaustively researched....The author makes this informative, insightful study even more compelling with his witty and fluid prose.

Synopsis
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. 16 pages of black-and-white photographs bring this gripping narrative to life. "McLynn ... tells it so well ... you can hear the strains of he Mexican patriotic standard 'Zacatecas' as you read it."--Austin American-Statesman "An admirably clear account of the chaos of revolution, its rivalries and bloody struggles...."--The Spectator "Informative and insightful ... feels less like a history than a great story, as exciting as a Saturday serial Western."--Publishers Weekly, A stirring, authoritative account of the Mexican Revolution, told through the lives of its infamous rebel-outlaws: Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata Villa and Zapata vividly chronicles the decade of bloody events that followed the eruption of the Mexican Revolution in 1910 and made legends of the rebels Francisco "Pancho" Villa and Emiliano Zapata. Mexico's was the first massive social revolution of the twentieth century, visiting economic, cultural, and racial strife on a country already exploited by oppressive officials and crippled by poverty, but also offering hope to its people. The ruthless Villa and his army of ex-cowboys in the north and Zapata, recruiting his infantry from the sugar plantations of the south, successfully waged a devastating war on two fronts and brought down a string of autocrats in Mexico City. But the two men failed to make common cause and ultimately fell victim to intrigues more treacherous than their own.
