Summary: Good coverage; poor interpretation & inattention to details
Comment: The virtues first: this book manages to cover some one thousand years of complex history in a little over 200 pages. No mean task. Now, the problems: a wooden, occasionally opaque, prose style drives the narrative. Too often there is inattention to important details and, particularly in the closing chapters, the author reveals his ideological proclivities [right/center apparatchik and apologist for both Republican and PRI policies]. Beyond these interpretive biases, there is little sense that Suchlicki is moved by the drama or scope of Mexican history. Very little reliance on primary sources, very few quotations, very few telling anecdotes. In short, an uninspired and dreary read of an inspiring and dramatic subject. Too bad.
