Summary:

This historical biography traces Álvaro Obregóns life, from his childhood marked by hardship and epidemics to his rise to the presidency of Mexico, examining the causes that made his military career possible. Throughout these pages, the author explores how Obregón moved from the countrys periphery to its center and how the drive of his troops influenced the nations course, following him through his return to Sonora in 1925, his second presidential tour, and his fall as a victorious candidate. The authors goal is to contribute to the formulation and reformulation of questions and to examine interpretations so that readers can decide whether Obregón was a hero or a tyrant, a martyr or a Caesar.
