Both works advance our understanding of Mexican politics and demonstrate deep knowledge of the country's political structure. Memoirs blends history and fiction into a personalized perspective on current affairs, and gives the reader the sense of "being there." From the Mexican Revolution to the petroleum boom, key events are seen through the eyes of Antonio Gutierrez Enriquez, a fictional politician who rises to important office. Camp's politician is molded by the Revolutionary Institutional Party (RIP), which has dominated Mexican politics since the 1920s. Gutierrez recounts typical experiences of an older generation, now challenged by the newer "technocrats." Camp's view of Mexican politics is not a romantic one, as evidenced by his recognition that party control has often been incompatible with democratic government. Who's Who is an A-Z reference biography listing nearly 400 Mexican political, economic, and intellectual leaders. Camp concentrates on decision-makers and presents hard-to-find information on power positions and family ties, both vital to success in Mexican politics. While many persons will leave their current posts when Carlos Salianas de Gortari takes office in December, most will remain on the political scene for years to come. Both works contribute to our knowledge of Mexico's distinct political system and can profitably be added to larger collections with Mexican holdings. Ray Walser, U.S. Military Acad., West Point, N.Y.
