The victory of the revolutionary army at Zacatecas devastated the morale of the federal army and planted the unthinkable idea of defeat in the mind of General Victoriano Huerta. Soon afterward he fled Mexico. Personal accounts of this pivotal battle are valuable, fragile documents available in only a handful of university archives. This book consists of English translations of two such documents, diaries of the battle. One account is by General Felipe Angeles, the highest-ranking officer of the Mexican military to oppose the coup d'etat against President Francisco I. Madero. Angeles was a respected academic, the director of the Colegio Militar de Chapultepec, the West Point of Mexico. When General Pancho Villa requested an artillery-general, Angeles volunteered. The successful partnership between the educated Angeles and Villa, the illiterate peasant leader, remains one of history's intriguing mysteries. The second account is by Major Federico Cervantes, an outstanding graduate of the military college, chosen by President Madero to create an air force for Mexico. He was in France preparing for this task when Madero was assassinated. He returned to Mexico to join those who opposed Huerta and became aide to General Angeles. Cervantes is also the author of an exhaustive biography of Felipe Angeles.

On June 23rd, 1914, the legendary División del Norte, commanded by General Francisco “Pancho” Villa, defeated the forces of then-president Victoriano Huerta and took the city of Zacatecas. After the decisive battle, the federales were unable to recover. The path to Mexico City—and ultimate victory—was clear for Villa and the revolutionaries. As Colonel Montejo, the narrator of Paco Taibo’s epic tale, says, “We broke their spine in Zacatecas. The rest was just a march south.” In this remarkable graphic novel, Paco Ignacio Taibo II (a.k.a. PIT)—the prolific historian, biographer of Che Guevara and Pancho Villa, as well as the founder of Mexican neopolicial fiction—brings his tremendous storytelling skills to bear, united with stunning illustrations by the artist Eko that evoke traditional Day of the Dead imagery and the etchings of legendary Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada. Pancho Villa Takes Zacatecas not only depicts one of the most decisive moments of the revolution, it also profiles, in glorified action, one of the most beloved heroes of contemporary Mexico. Now translated into English and seamlessly adapted to ebook format, Pancho Villa Takes Zacatecas is an unforgettable paean to the dramatic story of the Mexican Revolution that will fascinate history buffs, avid readers, and graphic novel enthusiasts alike. Praise for Pancho Villa Takes Zacatecas "Like never before, maverick Mexican novelist, Paco Ignacio Taibo II, and visual virtuoso, Eko, bring to kinetic life a pivotal moment in Villa’s against-the-odds, David-Goliath battles with sitting oppressors—one that returned the power to the Mexican people. Extraordinarily energetic woodcut-art and a nimble narrative voice make this history showing and telling at its best!" —Frederick Luis Aldama, author of Your Brain on Latino Comics. “It’s impossible to review [Taibo II’s] literary work without painting an ideological portrait. He’s probably the writer on the left with the proudest lineage of all those I’ve read.” —Christopher Domínguez Michael, Letras Libres “Eko is in many ways a Renaissance artist who through archetypical characters and his work showing them to us recovers the essence (and drives) of humanity, and he shows them without objection.” —Jorge Rueda, Replicante Paco Ignacio Taibo II, or PIT, was born in Gijón, Spain in 1949, before fleeing Franco’s dictatorship with his family in 1958. He has resided in Mexico City ever since, where he’s built a career as a writer, journalist, historian, biographer of Pancho Villa and Che Guevara, and, perhaps most crucially, a founder of the neopolicial fiction genre in Latin America. His books have been published in 29 countries and translated into nearly as many languages. In addition to being a prolific writer, he is an active member of the international crime writing community and organizes Semana Negra or “Noir Week” in his native Gijón. He has won the Latin American Dashiell Hammett Prize three times, as well as the Mexican Premio Planeta, and several other awards for international crime fiction. Eko, born in Mexico in 1958, is a cartoonist, engraver, and painter. His wood etchings, often erotic in nature and the focus of controversial discussion, are part of a broader tradition in Mexican folk art popularized by José Guadalupe Posada. He has collaborated on projects for The New York Times, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and the Spanish daily El País, in addition to having published numerous books in Mexico and Spain. Nina Arazoza is a recent graduate of Tufts University’s International Relations Program and an aspiring translator and publishing professional. Her enthusiasm for Latin American culture, history, and politics led her to Restless Books and Pancho Villa Takes Zacatecas.

Excerpt: The Ten Tragic Days ("La Decena Tragica") was a series of events that took place in Mexico City between February 9 and February 19, 1913, during the Mexican Revolution. They culminated in a coup d'etat and the assassination of President Francisco I. Madero and his vice president, Jose Maria Pino Suarez. Francisco Madero was elected President of Mexico in October 1911. Within a few months, Madero began to lose support and come under criticism. Though Madero came from a conservative wealthy background, the conservatives never forgave him for driving Porfirio Diaz out of office. Madero's supporters became disillusioned when he refused to implement their plans such as the breakup of the large estates. Madero, at the end of his first year in the presidency, was in a bad way. The country was to a considerable extent unsettled, the treasury depleted, and Madero's staff and supports were only slightly less audacious than the hated Cientificos of the Porfirio Diaz's rule. It was the prevailing wisdom that a popular revolution would occur soon. During the first year of...

War! Here is a word that erupts into the mind and sets the heart afire. And into that cardiogenic blaze tumble more words to encourage and sustain it: cruelty; love; hate; lust; murder; madness....In 1910 the Mexican Revolution raced across the face of the continent like a holocaust, driving every living thing before it, and most of those it drove, it overtook and destroyed. Those it could not destroy, or would not, it made mutant, their descendents capable of innocence, or amnesia; but it formed in their hearts, nevertheless, the language of future betrayels: the crude and familiar cartage of desperate human conflict. Here is a story of two men and a woman whom war could not destroy: Rodolfo Villalobos, a giant Yaqui Colonel of artillery in Pancho Villa's famed Division del Norte; Senorita Lucy Jurado, a beautiful Creol lady born to the Spanish aristocracy, and Lewis Flintoff Files, a demented, treasonous American sailor who escaped Saigon to fire the last shot of the Mexican Civil War. The first two characters depicted here were instrumental in the assassination of General Francisco Villa. The last one avenged him.

***A HISTORICAL NOVEL THAT WILL CAPTURE YOU FROM THE BEGINNING*** "Excellent narrative treatment of the novel and perfect agreement with the historical facts." Azay Art Magazine "A true narrative prodigy of what is perhaps the 7th generation of the novel of the revolution." Azay Art Magazine The Laugh of the Hyena is a novel about the Mexican Revolution told from the point of view of the soldiers and revolutionaries who were present at the battle. Wrapped in the turbulence of the Mexican Revolution, a young railroad worker joins the Northern Division. He participated together with General Francisco (Pancho) Villa in the most renowned battles of the time: the battle of Torreón, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Zacatecas, etc. He knows death, betrayal, pain, and indifference up close; but also love, friendship, and companionship. He witnesses the baser passions unleashed by the murderous fury of a repressed society. Like the hyenas that emit that sound similar to human laughter when they take prey and are having a feast, so in the Mexican Revolution the cannons thunder with laughter, taking their high share of blood when facing brothers against brothers for the sake of a better future. With a simple but engaging style, this novel takes up part of the stormy life of Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century. Inspired by the memories of his grandfather, Germán Olivares García opens a window to the voices of the actors who participated in it, not only the most renowned but also those who in some way served as cannon fodder.

"Henderson and Buchenau have done an excellent and thoughtful job of collecting a wide range of voices for students to learn about the Mexican Revolution and its causes, both from ‘above’ and from ‘below’. I’m particularly appreciative of the authors’ inclusion of women’s voices and women’s issues of the era, including the point of view of the first woman elected to public office in Mexico. They deserve praise for including documents that complicate widely accepted, heroic revolutionary narratives of the period for students—such as the experience of soldaderas and the massacre of Chinese people in Torreón. It is also worth mentioning that the editors have done an admirable job in choosing documents from across Mexico’s many diverse and heterogenous regions. The general Introduction is excellent; it is both accurate and highly readable for students. It is no easy feat to succinctly describe both the events and the significance of this period in Mexican history as the authors have done here." —Sarah Osten, The University of Vermont
