"An important and illuminating book that not only gives new insights into the characters and motivations of Villa and Reed but also which says—and proves—that while their lives were as different as it would be possible to imagine, revolution was the common denominator which made them brothers to their deaths."—El Paso Times "Tuck is . . . a good writer, the subjects are fascinating characters, and the time period ripe with excitement. These assets make the book attractive to a general audience."—Choice

Moving from IWW picket lines to Mexican ambushes to Bolshevik council chambers, this captivating narrative reveals how two strikingly different men~one a Mexican bandit, the other a Harvard graduate ~ rose to a cause, crossed paths briefly, then parted and fell to the intrigues of their enemies. It was in late 1913 that John Reed traveled to Mexico to write about its revolution. There he joined Pancho Villa's "foreign legion" of supporters whose ranks boasted such figures as Ambrose Bierce and Tom Mix. The product of Reed's expedition, INSURGENT MEXICO, won him world fame as a journalist, but Pancho Villa And John Reed now places author, book and subject in a more meaningful context. Drawing on previously untapped archival sources in Mexico Jim Tuck weaves the lives of these two controversial figures into a compelling study of romantic revolution. He compares the influence of mentors,the counsels of friends, and the defeats inevitable to true romantics when they come into conflict with organization men. Villa and Reed are shown to have displayed unexpected strengths and weaknesses as revolutionaries. Their inability to cope with bureaucrats was a reflection of their idealistic temperaments, yet their charismatic personalities made them undeniably pivotal figures in history and role models for future generations of rebels.
