About this ebook
The Man Who Wrote Pancho Villa places Guzman's work in a biographical context, shedding light on the immediate motivations behind his writing in a given moment and the subsequent ways in which he rewrote or repackaged the material. Despite his efforts to establish a definitive reading of his life and literature, Guzman was unable to control that interpretation as audiences became less tolerant of the glaring omissions in his self-portrait.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5
This is an interesting biography of the great Mexican revolutionary leader. He was a Mexican "Robin Hood" who took from the rich and gave to the poor. During his 44-year lifetime, the people were oppressed, but Francisco Villa, as long as he loved, was their champion.
