Arredondo
In this biography of Joaquín de Arredondo, historian Bradley Folsom brings to life one of the most influential and ruthless leaders in North American history. Arredondo (1776–1837), a Bourbon loyalist who governed Texas and the other interior provinces of northeastern New Spain during the Mexican War of Independence, contended with attacks by revolutionaries, U.S. citizens, generals who had served in Napoleon’s army, pirates, and various American Indian groups, all attempting to wrest control of the region. Often resorting to violence to deal with the provinces’ problems, Arredondo was for ten years the most powerful official in northeastern New Spain. Folsom’s lively account shows ...
Son of Vengeance
Since the early 1800s, the violent exploits of “El Indio” Rafael through the settlements of northern New Spain have become the stuff of myth and legend. For some, the fabled Apache was a hero, an indigenous Robin Hood who fought oppressive Spaniards to help the dispossessed and downtrodden. For others, he was little more than a merciless killer. In Son of Vengeance, Bradley Folsom sets out to find the real Rafael—to extract the true story from the scant historical record and superabundance of speculation. What he uncovers is that many of the legends about Rafael were true: he was both daring and one of the most prolific serial killers in North American history. Rafael was born into an ...

The Journal of James A. Brush
Editors Karen Racine and Graham Lloyd provide extensive insight into the Mina expedition during the revolution of Mexican independence as captured in the journal of James A. Brush. General Xavier Mina believed that the best way to overthrow tyranny in Spain was to fight for the independence of the American colonies. A Scottish officer who fought with the British army against Napoleon, Brush joined Mina in 1815 and set sail to Mexico thereafter. Available in English for the first time, this primary document detailing the experiences of the expedition provides a firsthand account of the personalities, the events, and the social world as it was, as well as descriptions of some of the major figures of Mexico's independence era. Racine and Lloyd contextualize Brush's journal with informative notes, annotations, and appendices that include letters, song lyrics, and decrees, giving readers a broader context for the events described. The result is a fascinating look into a significant episode of Mexico's War for Independence.
The Agony of Spanish Liberalism
It was during the period 1913-1923 that the seeds of political polarization and social violence culminating in the Spanish Civil War were sown. This volume explores the causes of the growing schism within Spanish society, focusing on the crisis of the Spanish liberal order, under challenge from newly mobilized forces on both the Right and Left.
El Mariscal de Campo José de la Cruz en la encrucijada de la independencia de México como comandante general de la nueva Galicia .
El desempeño del mariscal de campo José de la Cruz Fernández en los diez años que hemos examinado, 1812 a 1821, fue realmente eficaz y correcto, sobresaliente para los realistas, aunque tuvo sus más y sus menos con los tres virreyes con los que le tocó lidiar. Fueron unos largos años fijo en Guadalajara, hasta que en 1822 tuvo que abandonar la Nueva España por la victoria del Ejército Trigarante, independentista, de Agustín de Iturbide en 1821.El sistema militar que siguió Cruz en el territorio de su mando fue el propio para hacer frente a la constante diseminación de las gavillas insurgentes por el mismo. Por esta razón, lo mantuvo subdividido fundamentalmente en cinco division...
Conservatives and Right Radicals in Interwar Europe
This book features a broad range of thematic and national case studies which explore the interrelations and confrontations between conservatives and the radical Right in the European and global contexts of the interwar years. It investigates the political, social, cultural, and economic issues that conservatives and radicals tried to address and solve in the aftermaths of the Great War. Conservative forces ended up prevailing over far-right forces in the 1920s, with the notable exception of the Fascist regime in Italy. But over the course of the 1930s, and the ascent of the Nazi regime in Germany, political radicalisation triggered both competition and hybridisation between conservative and right-wing radical forces, with increased power for far-right and fascist movements. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of politics, history, fascism, and Nazism.
El virreinato de la Nueva España frente a la Constitución de Cádiz durante el período de la independencia de México.La llave histórica de Lucas Alamán
En este estudio comentamos y analizamos pormenorizadamente la obra clásica del conservador mexicano Lucas Alamán titulada Historia de México: desde los primeros movimientos que prepararon su independencia en el año de 1808, hasta la época presente, que apareció en cinco volúmenes escritos entre 1849 y 1852. En ella Alamán se propuso reflejar la «austera verdad, apoyada en documentos irrefragables», concluyendo que la independencia no se debió al periodo histórico abierto por Hidalgo (primer periodo de la independencia), sino que fue realizada por el mismo ejército realista que lo combatió en lo que podríamos llamar segundo periodo de la independencia. Según José María Licea...
