ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The years that defined a life and an idea of homeland.

In this second volume of L zaro C rdenas: A 20th-Century Mexican, we read about the central period in the life of the General: the part that transformed Mexico and launched it into history. The years of his term (1934-1940) and his assignment as Secretary of National Defense--during World War II, no less--are analyzed in rigorous, agile prose by Ricardo P rez Montfort, who disproves myths about the man from Michoac n, the oil expropriation, his vision of politics, and his existence after the presidency. In this way, volume 2 of C rdenas del R o's most well-documented biography presents the essential coordinates to understand modern-day Mexico, and its struggles and contradictions.
