Synopsis

Some forty scholarly works, written by historians on both sides of the Border, form the basis for this non-scholarly attempt to provide a short, simple story of events between the Spanish conquest of Mexico five centuries ago and Mexico's dominance of itself since its independence of two hundred years. Better analysis of events here described in a factually chronologic way can be found in the writer's historical sources. A reader knowing little of Mexico's history can get a good start with this writer's try to show what the large and beautiful land to the south has met and overcome on the way to what it has, and what it will become.

Biographie de l'auteur

The author retired from the U.S. Foreign Service as a consul at the end of 1992 and wrote seven books in Mexico. Raised in Riverdale, New York, he attended St. Gabriel's parochial school on its rustic hill above the Hudson River during World War II, and Power Memorial Academy in the city. Starting at eleven years he delivered groceries for Jacob Sodakov, meat for Dominic the Butcher, newspapers for the Bronx Home News, and worked his way through Iona College with a scholarship and summer construction work on bridges, highways, pipelines, and tunnels in New Jersey, and a singer's summer job for Stonegate Lodge in the Adirondacks. He attended St. John's on a Thomas More law scholarship until he found writing work at Prentice-Hall publishers, the New York Journal American, the Bisbee Review, and the Yuma Sun of Arizona, which ended with a libel suit and Federal rescue with SSA posts in Phoenix, San Diego, Inglewood, Yuma, and San Francisco, and a transfer to the Foreign Service with assignments in Mexico City and Athens and regions covering the Americas, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. He and Cecilia Rogel, married for 53 years, have three children and five grandchildren. The libel suit was dropped.
