Insurgent Mexico (1914)

Insurgent Mexico is a non-fiction book written by American journalist John Reed in 1914. The book is a personal account of Reed's experiences during the Mexican Revolution, which took place from 1910 to 1920. Reed traveled to Mexico to cover the conflict as a correspondent for Metropolitan Magazine, and he spent several months embedded with various insurgent forces. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the political and social conditions in Mexico that led to the revolution, as well as a brief history of the conflict up to the point where Reed arrived. The second part is a collection of Reed's personal observations and interviews with various revolutionary leaders, including Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata. Reed's writing style is highly descriptive and vivid, and he provides detailed accounts of battles, skirmishes, and other events he witnessed. He also offers his own analysis of the revolution, including its causes, its goals, and its potential impact on Mexico and the wider world. Overall, Insurgent Mexico is a valuable historical document that provides a first-hand account of one of the most important events in Mexican history. It is also an engaging and well-written piece of journalism that offers insights into the experiences of those who fought in the revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
