Matthew Butler

British Academy, 2004

Dr Butler provides a new interpretation of the cristero war (1926-29) which divided Mexico's peasantry into rival camps loyal to the Catholic Church (cristero) or the Revolution (agrarista).

Reading these "letters" made me want to seek out further biographies (I've read several ...

Diario de un cristero
Una obra magnifica por su contenido historico de aspectos pocos conocidos del Mexico Post Revolucionario. El autor hizo de sus experiencias propias y de contemporaneos con los que vivio, una ojeada al Mexico de 1926 a 1930. Donde se vivio mas profundamente una faceta de Mexico, aunque conocida, no asi profundiazada y no muy pacifica, aunque si muy intensa, llena de patriotismo y amor verdadero ...
