In this long-awaited study, Claudio Lomnitz tells an unprecedented story about the experience and ideology of American and Mexican revolutionary collaborators of the Mexican anarchist Ricardo Flores Magón.

When you think of Mexican Revolutionaries, you normally think of Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa. But there was a third revolutionary leader who is now largely unknown: Ricardo Flores Magon. Magon was the chief intellectual precursor of the revolution. He founded and published one of the most important opposition newspaper to the Porfirio Diaz dictatorship, *Regeneracion*; he founded the Partido Liberal Mexicano; he took an active part in the rebellion in Chihuahua; and he led the uprising in Baja California. Persecuted by both the Mexican and U.S. governments, he was convicted of sedition for his publishing activities in the United States, and died in Leavenworth of medical neglect. This is the first new biography of Magon to appear in decades, and the first English-language biography ever to appear. The product of years of research, it includes much new information never before available. As such, it's certain to become must reading for students of Mexican history and the Mexican Revolution.
