About this ebook
This essential volume recalls the activities of Emiliano Zapata (1879-1919), a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution; he formed and commanded an important revolutionary force during this conflict. Womack focuses attention on Zapata's activities and his home state of Morelos during the Revolution. Zapata quickly rose from his position as a peasant leader in a village seeking agrarian reform. Zapata's dedication to the cause of land rights made him a hero to the people. Womack describes the contributing factors and conditions preceding the Mexican Revolution, creating a narrative that examines political and agrarian transformations on local and national levels.

A great leader gone way too soon. Like Malcolm, MLK, and Che he died at the age of 39. According to the Bible and the Qur'an, a man reaches his mental maturity at the age of 40. Think of how our world would have been reshaped for the better had these great men lived longer. Truly a tragedy!!! and I recently discovered that my paternal grandfather rode with Zapata.
