A "Best Book of 1998" Library Journal selection "This is the definitive work on Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa.... The work is exhaustively researched and scrupulously documented; it also makes for engrossing reading, as Latin America specialist Katz takes hold of the legend, gives it a good shaking, and comes up with something far more complex."-Library Journal starred review "A splendid work that can be enjoyed by the general reader and by scholars of the period on both sides of the border." -The Journal of American History "The lifework of a great historian, this book is without rival as a biography of one of the enigmatic figures of the 20th century. . . . With scrupulous detail and objectivity, and with a fluid narrative style, this is the book on Villa that has long been awaited by both scholars and general readers."--Adolfo Gilly, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico
"Friedrich Katz's The Life and Times of Pancho Villa is a masterpiece of contemporary historiography. . . . Diligent, extremely well-documented, fluid and elegant at all times, Friederich Katz presents Mexicans with our ghosts--alive."--Carlos Fuentes
