Author Biography

Karl B Koth

Review

Koth's study is the first political and military history to trace the centralist-federalist struggle from the mid-nineteenth century through the Mexican Revolution in Veracruz . . . It should be placed alongside other well-known regional histories of the revolutionary era concerned with the centralist-federalist paradigm, the struggle for local autonomy, and peasant/worker rebellions fighting for social justice. --Heather Fowler-Salamini, Hispanic American Historical Review
