| Summary: | "After many years of research and study, Dr. Wilbert H. Timmons has brought to life the era of the Mexican Revolution for Independence and the colorful men who dominated the scene. The central figure, José María Morelos, emerges as an inspired warrior and statesman with final victory almost within his grasp, but destined to suffer, as in a Greek tragedy, the remorse of defeat and death. However, as the author shows, the ideas and institutions of Morelos were to survive his execution in the village of San Cristobal Ecatépec. They were destined to become solid pillars in the structure of modern Mexico."--Jacket. |
