- Summary:
- "La sombra del Caudillo was first published in 1929 in Spain where Guzman had fled in 1923 and settled to avoid the wrath of Obregon and called for supporting Adolfo de la Huerta's candidacy for president. With this publication of The Shadow of the Strongman, English-language readers have access for the first time to an important document of Mexican twentieth-century culture, a novel of political intrigue that has gripped generations of Mexican and other Spanish-language readers."-- Provided by publisher.
