Red Mexico: A Reign of Terror in America

By Francis McCullagh

"Red Mexico; A Reign of Terror in America" is a compelling firsthand account of the religious and political turmoil that gripped Mexico during the late 1920s. Written by renowned war correspondent Francis McCullagh, the work delves into the brutal conflict known as the Cristero War, highlighting the intense persecution of the Catholic Church under the administration of President Plutarco ElÃ-as Calles.

McCullagh provides a vivid, investigative report on the clash between a secular, revolutionary government and a deeply religious populace. Through his detailed observations, the author explores themes of anti-clericalism, the spread of socialist-inspired policies in North America, and the resilience of faith in the face of state-sponsored violence. The work serves as a vital historical document, capturing the atmosphere of fear, martyrdom, and resistance during one of Mexico's most turbulent eras.

By documenting the "reign of terror" that unfolded during this period, McCullagh offers readers an unfiltered look at the geopolitical and spiritual stakes of the time. This book is an essential resource for those interested in Mexican history, religious freedom, and the complex relationship between church and state in the early 20th century.
