Pancho Villa a cool person to read about

This book is about Pancho Villa and his deeds in the Mexican Revolution. It also discusses some of his childhood, his adventures, and his life after the army. This book has some cool information on Pancho Villa and the wars he was in. This is one book worth reading in your spare time. When Pancho Villa was a kid he lived a rough and difficult life. He wasn't educated, he faced social injustice, and hunger. Even though he a poor child he was a clear headed kid with a few more awesome character traits which the book tells you all about. Later in his life he changed his name to escape his execution. This book tells you about more times like that which were on the subject of executions. The weird thing is that Pancho Villa went from being a gang member to a high ranking officer of the army. That was a great story to read about along with when he made his first attack when he was in the military. Later on in his life came the sad times. It tells about Villa quitting the army to live the rest of his life out of the army and its battles. This might seem that the good times are over with. But the truth is that it only gets better from there and its still action packed. I personally loved reading this book although it is outside of what I normally read. I learned some cool facts and that Villa was ruthless especially when he said "I want you to tell me which one of the wounded are leaders and officers to shoot them". I recommend this book to everyone that like history and action books. truth and legend on Pancho Villa By:Luis Garfias M. Published in 1987 (C) Panorama Editorial S.A. Leibnitz 31, Col.

Pancho Villa Rides Again

From the cover: The well-known historian and general of the Mexican Army, Luis Garfias M. studies the human personality of Francisco Villa in his work and, basing himself on a large body of documents and data, analyzes his actions. In this he tries to present the reader with a balanced picture of the real man, conditioned by his birth, life and ideals and the myth that has grown up around him with the passage of time.
