Summary: Revolución or muerte
Comment: This short book is one of the wonders of journalism of all times. John Reed takes us into a journey of Revolutionary Mexico and we end up enjoying every minute of it. The description of the "hombres" is touching and Pancho Villa is great. Very recommended! But when you buy it, be sure you will have time to read it, because you won't be able to put it down.

Summary: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
Comment: In this account of his adventures in the advance to Mexico City with Pancho Villa's armies, John Reed gives an excellent account of what it was like to have been there. Luckily enough for him, historians, and adventure lovers alike, he was on the winning side and survived to tell his tale. His tale is his aspect of the venture among the soldiers who fought the battles, rode the trains, suffred the hardships of civil war, and tasted the glow of victories won on the way to the capitol city. It's gritty, putrid, rough and tumble and the food isn't great but at the end you get a heck of a kick from surviving it all.
Rating: 5
Summary: John Reed's writing style is great
Comment: This book was written over 80 years ago, so as military journalism it is quite dated. However, the author's portraits of people and places are so vivid that the characters and events seem to come alive. The author displays a novelist's talent for description. It is a very sympathetic portrait of Pancho Villa. I don't know how historically accurate it is, but it is certainly interesting reading.
