This book is not an in-depth history of Mexico. It is more of an aggregation of one person’s view of Mexico in general.
However, it does take the time to cover Mexico in general, pre-Columbian era, the European incursions, Spanish colonialism, and the American Society, destabilization and fragmentation (1770 – 1867), reconstruction (1867 – 1940), the monopoly party (1940 – 2000), and much more.
You will find the book packed with pictures, diagrams, maps, etc.
This is just the starting point; you will find a good bibliography in the back for further investigations into the history of Mexico.
