Summary:

"Emphasizing the man rather than the movement, the author provides an excellent political biography of Zapata. Concludes that Zapata was successful as a local and regional leader but could not make the transition to national leadership, primarily because of the activities of his urban advisors in late 1914 and early 1915"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas
