??????Qui???n financi??? la Revoluci???n mexicana? ???De d???nde salieron las armas y municiones para que nos mat???ramos otra vez entre los mexicanos, si M???xico carec???a, y carece, de una poderosa industria militar y a lo largo del movimiento armado no cont???bamos con las divisas no con los metales para importarlas???? Tal parece que, como sentenci??? el poeta: ???El ni???o Dios te escritur??? un establo y los veneros del petr???leo, el diablo???, pues de pronto en el territorio de una naci???n mayoritariamente pobre aparecieron inmensas chapopoteras en las que el petr???leo afloraba, exhibiendo una riqueza insospechada, y las grandes potencias conspiraron para apropi???rselas. Por las p???ginas de esta magn???tica novela transitan hombres de negocios disfrazados de diplom???ticos, esp???as, diputados corruptos, cl???rigos de diversa jerarqu???a, abogado y notarios mexicanos vendidos a las compa??????as petroleras extranjeras, extorsionados de la peor ralea, guardias blancas y toda una caterva de personajes que, durante m???s de medios siglo, saquearon impunemente el subsuelo mexicano. Mart???n Moreno nos revela, con su en???rgica e informada prosa, pasajes in???ditos que deber???a conocer todo mexicano cr???tico de la historia oficial. ???Al publicar M???xico negro, nunca imagin??? que, a 35 a???os de distancia, miles de lectores seguir???an ley???ndolo, Tampoco supuse la cat???strofe que significar???a la burocratizaci???n de la energ???a en M???xico: Pemex es la ???nica compa??????a petrolera quebrada en el mundo. Su insolvencia financiera puede destruir el cr???dito p???blico de M???xico. Ha sido, con algunas excepciones, una cantera de bandidos. ???De qu??? les ha servido la expropiaci???n petrolera de 1938 a m???s de 50 millones de mexicanos sepultados, hoy en d???a, en la pobreza???? - Francisco Mart???n Moreno ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Who financed the Mexican Revolution? Where did all those weapons and ammunitions for Mexicans to kill each other once again, come from? Mexico lacked, and still lacks, a powerful military manufacturing industry and throughout the armed conflict we did not have the necessary cash flow nor the metals to import them." It seems that suddenly, within the territory of a mostly poor nation, immense oil fields appeared from which oil flowed freely, exhibiting unsuspected wealth, and then the great powers conspired to take ownership of them. Throughout this novel we will run across businessmen disguised as diplomats, spies, corrupt deputies, clergymen, Mexican lawyers and notaries who have sold themselves to foreign oil companies, and a whole host of characters who, for over half a century, looted the riches of the Mexican subsoil with zero consequences. With his energetic and informed prose, Mart???n Moreno reveals previously unpublished information that every critic of Mexico's official history should know. "When I published Black Mexico , I never imagined that 35 years later, thousands of readers would still be reading it. Nor could I have imagined the catastrophe that the bureaucratization of Mexico's energy would mean. What good has the oil expropriation of 1938 served the more than 50 million Mexicans today, as they are buried in poverty?" -Francisco Mart???n Moreno
