London. 1981. Sphere Books. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0722165153. 212 pages. paperback. keywords: History Autobiography Mexico Revolution Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-THE UNIQUE STORY OF THE MEXICAN STRUGGLE. Mexico 1910-and as the squadrons of Pancho Villa's mounted infantry wheeled across the nation, sweeping the federal troops before them, Patrick O'Hea, an Anglo-Mexican farm manager, found himself embroiled in the struggle. In fomenting bloody revolution, the VILLAISTES fought to wrest control of the government from the corrupt dictator Porfirio Diaz. Throughout this time, O'Hea showed great courage; as an administrator, preserving his lands from the shellfire of both sides, as a temporary consul, negotiating for the release of foreign prisoners, pleading for the lives of men about to be shot, and, accused of collusion with the nationalists, extricating himself under a white flag of truce. With wry amusement, O'Hea describes how he asked for artillery fire to be ranged beyond his villa-and so avoided its destruction; how a rebel general donated his ruffianly bodyguard for his protection; and how after the day's fighting, the men squabbled for silver. His memoir is a testimony to the rebirth of a nation, by a man whose quiet skill with the silver-stealing, horse-thieving rebels saved many from summary execution, and whose unique recollections capture the turbulent years of the Revolution in Northern Mexico. inventory #35374.
