ENGLISH DESCRIPTION How did Mexico's first organized crime group become associated with the halls of political power? The Inscrutable Case of the Gray Automobile Gang revisits one of the most fascinating episodes in Mexican history: A gang of assailants, protected by established political interests, spread terror in the capital amid the upheaval of the Mexican Revolution. This brilliantly told and carefully documented account paints a vivid portrait of a city of whispered conspiracies, luxury automobiles and unbridled criminal activity. In its pages, we meet such legendary figures such as Emiliano Zapata and Jos Juan Tablada, and witness the coup that ousted the first revolutionary government. Juan Jos Rodr guez blends past and present, historical accounts and personal memoir, chronicle and essay in a narrative mosaic that traces the inexorable degeneration of revolutionary idealism into authoritarianism. The Inscrutable Case of the Gray Automobile Gang is a true and impactful story set during the transformation from the Porfiriato to revolutionary ardor and the rise of automobile culture in a city in the throes of combat, scarcity and epidemic disease. Even in these circumstances, life went on: the theaters were packed, and capital residents were enthralled by the first Mexican-made films. A brutally honest dissection of the origins of modern Mexico masterfully told by one of today's most interesting authors. Reid, Glenn (illustrateur).…
