Lázaro cárdenas: un mexicano del siglo XX (Tomo 2) / Lázaro Cárdenas: A 20th- Century Mexican (Volume 2)

En este segundo tomo de Lázaro Cárdenas. Un mexicano del siglo xx, se relata el periodo central en la vida del General: aquél que transformó nuestro país y lo catapultó a la historia. Los años de su sexenio (1934-1940) y de su encargo como secretario de la Defensa Nacional —durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, ni más ni menos— son analizados con una prosa rigurosa y ágil por Ricardo Pérez Montfort, quien desmonta mitos del michoacano, de la Expropiación Petrolera, de su visión de la política y de su existencia tras Los Pinos. Así, en este tomo II de la biografía más documentada de Cárdenas del Río se presentan las coordenadas imprescindibles para entender el México de hoy, sus luchas y contradicciones.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The years that defined a life and an idea of homeland.

In this second volume of Lázaro Cárdenas: A 20th-Century Mexican, we read about the central period in the life of the General: the part that transformed Mexico and launched it into history. The years of his term (1934-1940) and his assignment as Secretary of National Defense—during World War II, no less—are analyzed in rigorous, agile prose by Ricardo Pérez Montfort, who disproves myths about the man from Michoacán, the oil expropriation, his vision of politics, and his existence after the presidency. In this way, volume 2 of Cárdenas del Río’s most well-documented biography presents the essential coordinates to understand modern-day Mexico, and its struggles and contradictions.
