The only substantive study of Plutarco El'as Calles and the Mexican Revolution, this book traces the remarkable life story of a complex and little-understood, yet key figure in Mexico's history. JYrgen Buchenau draws on a rich array of archival evidence from Mexico, the United States, and Europe to explore Calles's origins and political trajectory, ultimately leading to his reformist, yet authoritarian presidency from 1924 to 1928. After his term as president, Calles continued to exert broad influence as his country's foremost political figure; indeed, many of the institutions and laws forged during his tenure survive today. Through this comprehensive assessment of a quintessential politician in an era dominated by generals, entrepreneurs, and educated professionals, Buchenau opens an illuminating window into the Mexican Revolution and contemporary Mexico.

This is a well balanced review of Calles political biography and assesment of his peronal influcence in post revolutionary Mexico. The author, from his perspective, corrects some of the misconceptions of Calles being the political and personal monster of his later days in the Mexican Maximato. Excellent reading, it goes very fast although it provides a good amount of docuementary sources and notes.
