About This Item
xiv+293+xi pages with folding map at back and index. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to spine and blind-stamped pictorial boards in original jacket. Seventh printing. Into this illuminating study of the meaning of Mexico s recent history Frank Tannenbaum has put the distillation of more than three decades of the familiarity with that country. Having traveled Mexico from the Rio Grande to the Guatemalan border, from the Gulf to the Pacific, and having been friendly with peasants, city folk, politicians, philosophers, artists and presidents, he understands Mexico as few foreigners can understand it. This book begins with a rapid survey of significant events from Hernan Cortés to Porfirio Díaz; continues with a searching analysis of the foreign and domestic policies of the present Mexican regime. In a final chapter it demonstrates the enormous importance to general United States foreign policy of Woodrow Wilson s and Franklin D. Roosevelt s conduct of Mexican-American relations. Condition: Jacket spine extremities and corners chipped with closed edge tears, spine sunned else very good in like jacket.
