Six years' residence and reporting for The London Times, The Christian Science Monitor, The Washington Post, are the qualifications for the author's account of Mexico, internally and internationally, during that period. Extremely readable, wholeheartedly sympathetic, the book covers the wide panorama of politics, education, religion, labor, expropriation, emergence from revolution to evolution, land division, important figures, the people of the cities as well as the people of the villages. There's information, behind the scenes knowledge, interesting analysis, and personal faith in the land she has come to know. Good book on a country of current importance.
