Pancho Villa and John Reed. Two faces of Romantic Revolution.

X, 252 S Ill. Inside with handwritten name on book end paper, slightly bronzy otherwise in mint condition. (.) 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 influences 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.
