Francisco I. Madero: Apostle Of Mexican Democracy - Hardcover

Francisco I. Madero: Apostle of Mexican Democracy is a biography of Francisco I. Madero, a key figure in the Mexican Revolution. Written by Stanley R. Ross, the book explores Madero's life, his political beliefs, and his role in the fight for Mexican democracy. Madero was born into a wealthy family in 1873 and was educated in the United States. He returned to Mexico in 1893 and became involved in politics, advocating for democratic reforms and social justice. In 1910, Madero launched a revolution against the corrupt and oppressive regime of President Porfirio Diaz. With the support of the Mexican people, Madero overthrew Diaz and became president himself. However, his presidency was short-lived, as he was overthrown and assassinated in 1913. Ross's biography provides a detailed account of Madero's life and legacy, offering insights into the political and social context of early 20th-century Mexico. The book is an essential read for anyone interested in Mexican history, political theory, or the struggle for democracy in Latin America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
