Excerpt from Diaz: Master of Mexico

The author has had the advantage of many extended conversations with President Diaz and the other leading men of the Mexican republic. Much has been drawn from the President''s private memoirs. Many books and records have been searched and many parts of Mexico visited. All financial statements are to be understood as in Mexican currency.

The object of this work is neither to attack nor to defend, but to explain, the most interesting man of the most misunderstood and misrepresented country in the world.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Porfirio Diaz has been told many times, yet always detached from Mexican history as a whole. The result has been highly confusing, usually misleading; and one has turned away from the tale feeling that modern Mexico has not been explained. In the raw attempt to apply the perfected institutions of Anglo Saxon civilization to the descendants of the dusky races which inhabited Mexico before the discovery of America by Columbus, the Mexican statesmen of 1824 put the principles of democratic government to a terrible ordeal. Without keeping this experiment in mind, it is quite impossible to realize the profound significance of Diaz sextraordinary career and the importance of his work to all students of statecraft. He was summoned to power from a youth of poverty and obscurity by the necessities of his divided and demoralized country; and he is as truly a creation of the weakness of his people as the peaceful and progressive Mexico of to-day is largely the product of his strength and common sense.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the extraordinary story of Porfirio D��az, a man whose life spanned the tumultuous transformation of Mexico from a Spanish colony to a republic. The author delves into the complexities of D��az's career, showcasing his remarkable rise from a poor boy in Oaxaca to a powerful military leader and ultimately, the undisputed master of Mexico. The book explores the chaotic backdrop of Mexican history, highlighting the struggle for independence from Spanish rule and the subsequent attempts to establish a stable democratic government. It examines the interplay of race, culture, and political ideals in shaping the nation's destiny. The author contrasts D��az's practical approach to governance with the idealistic, but often ineffective, leadership of Benito Ju�¡rez, another key figure in Mexico's struggle for self-determination. The book examines the challenges of forging a nation out of a diverse population and the tensions between the ambitions of the people and the realities of their historical legacy. Ultimately, it offers a nuanced understanding of Porfirio D��az's role in building a unified Mexico and his legacy as a complex and controversial figure in Latin American history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
