Excerpt from Crimes Against Mexico
This was the situation when Wilson became President. It did not take him by surprise. He came into office after Mexico had been upset for over two years. He had the advantage of the information that had been gathered, and of all the experience of the previous adminis tration. How has he met the problem? For more than six months he insulted our intelli gence by his silence - and when he was at last compelled to break his silence by the foreign powers, he calmly requested the American citi zens in Mexico to run. Thus he informed the bandits of that country that our government had forsaken its citizens in their hour of need, and that it would give them no protection hundreds sought safety by proclaiming them selves citizens of other countries. To the honor of all the other nations may it be said that none of them followed this dishonorable and cow ardly example.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often controversial relationship between the United States and Mexico during the turbulent period of the Mexican Revolution. Through a critical examination of Woodrow Wilson's presidency, the author dissects the president's Mexican policy and its devastating impact on the lives of ordinary Mexicans, both civilian and military. The book argues that the administration's actions, driven by American oil interests and a misguided desire to overthrow President Victoriano Huerta, actively fueled instability in Mexico and contributed to widespread violence. The author accuses the Wilson administration of supporting and even abetting the activities of bandit warlords like Pancho Villa, despite their brutal crimes against civilians. The book further explores the devastating consequences of this policy, including the deaths of American citizens, the exploitation of Mexican resources, and the erosion of American prestige in the region. Through detailed accounts of key events and individuals, this book provides a compelling and thought-provoking perspective on a critical chapter in US-Mexico relations, offering valuable insights into the human cost of misguided foreign policy and the complexities of international power dynamics.
