Publisher Synopsis
"Drawing on archives in Mexico, Spain, Britain, and Texas as well as published sources, Fowler supplies a much-needed corrective to existing impressions of Santa Anna with this balanced and well-written work."-Library Journal -- Stephen H. Peters * Library Journal * "Building on recent historiography, this is a breakthrough study of Santa Anna."-S. F. Voss, Choice -- S. F. Voss * Choice * "Superb. . . . Fowler has produced an elegantly-written and engaging study about one of Mexico's most notorious and misunderstood leaders. His evenhanded assessment of Santa Anna as more than just a power-hungry, opportunistic, and corrupt politician makes this biography a most welcome and valuable addition to Mexican historiography."-Journal of Military History * Journal of Military History * "[Santa Anna of Mexico] is carefully documented and well-written. Historians of Mexico on both sides of the border should read this excellent effort."-Joseph A. Stout, Jr., Journal of Arizona History -- Joseph A. Stout, Jr. * Journal of Arizona History * "This reevalution of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna is long overdue given the sophistication of our understanding of Mexico's turbulent decades following independence in 1810. . . .This biography will become obligatory text for students of the period that will also hold the attention of the casual reader."-Michael Ducey, A Contracorriente -- Michael Ducey * A Contracorriente * "Fowler has written an unsurpassed biography of one of Mexico's most famous leaders. Everyone with an interest in Mexican history should read it."-Donald F. Stevens, Journal of Latin American Studies -- Donald F. Stevens * Journal of Latin American Studies * Read more...
