By Paco Ignacio Taibo II (English)
A reevaluation of life the man who saved the Mexican Revolution, published on the 100th anniversary of his death. A wild ride and revealing portrait of the controversial Pancho Villa, one of Mexico’s most beloved (or loathed) heroes, that finally establishes the importance of his role in the triumph of the Mexican revolution by renowned crime writer Paco Ignacio Taibo, II.

By Friedrich Katz
Alongside Moctezuma and Benito Juárez, Pancho Villa is probably the best-known figure in Mexican history. Villa legends pervade not only Mexico but the United States and beyond, existing not only in the popular mind and tradition but in ballads and movies. There are legends of Villa the Robin Hood, Villa the womanizer, and Villa as the only foreigner who has attacked the mainland of the United States since the War of 1812 and gotten away with it.

By Hourly History
Pancho Villa was many things to many people. To some, he was a freedom fighter and revolutionary; to others, he was nothing more than a bloodthirsty bandit and killer. Villa’s life did indeed take many twists and turns, and some of the decisions he made would undoubtedly make many of us question his motives. This book seeks to cut through all of the moral ambiguity and deliver a testament of his life as it really was. Here you will find the life and legacy of Pancho Villa in full.

By Charles River Editors
“Pancho Villa,” people whispered at the beginning of the 20th century, "can march 100 miles without stopping, live 100 days without food, go 100 nights without sleep, and kill 100 men without remorse." The legend of Francisco Villa is full of heroism, tragedy and romance. It is the story of a poor farmer boy who became a bandit out of necessity, after avenging an injustice on his family; a military genius who flew from an oppressive government to lead the largest revolutionary army in his country's history, and defeated dictatorship to become Mexico´s liberator.

By Paco Ignacio Taibo II (Español)
Aquí se cuenta la vida de un hombre que solía despertarse, casi siempre, en un lugar diferente del que originalmente había elegido para dormir. Tenía este extraño hábito porque más de la mitad de su vida adulta, 17 años de los 30 que vivió antes de sumarse a una revolución, había sido prófugo de la justicia, bandolero, ladrón, asaltante de caminos, cuatrero. Y tenía miedo de que la debilidad de las horas sueño fuera su perdición.

By James Carlos Blake
With his debut novel on legendary Texas outlaw John Wesley Hardin, The Pistoleer, James Carlos Blake demonstrated a rare talent for western and historical fiction. His second book, The Friends of Pancho Villa, now back in print, further proved his mastery in the genre, taking on an even mightier figure of North American legend—the most memorable leader of the Mexican Revolution.

By by Captivating History
The Mexican Revolution was a defining moment of the 20th century. The Mexican fight for democracy, equality, and justice sent shockwaves around the world. No other episode in its history has left a deeper mark. It is a three-act drama full of politics, persecution, and war, not to mention earthquakes, signs in the sky, and even spiritualist sessions, while being populated by larger-than-life villains, international spies, and the universally known figures of Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata.

By Wanda Garner Cash
In 1924, Achilles Mehault “Mayo” Bessan and his eighteen-year-old bride journeyed from New Orleans to Mexico, where he ultimately transformed a dirt-floored cantina in Nuevo Laredo into a bar and restaurant renowned across the United States for its fine seafood and fancy cocktails. In her introduction, author Wanda Garner Cash writes, “I grew up behind the bar: first child and first grandchild. . . . I rode Pancho Villa’s saddle on a sawhorse in the main dining room, with a toy six-shooter in my holster.”

By Gustavo Vazquez-Lozano (Español)
"Pancho Villa", susurró la gente a principios del siglo XX, "puede marchar 100 millas sin parar, vivir 100 días sin comer, pasar 100 noches sin dormir y matar a 100 hombres sin remordimientos". La leyenda de Francisco Villa está llena de heroísmo, tragedia y romance. Es la historia de un pobre campesino que se convirtió en un bandido por necesidad, después de vengar una injusticia contra su familia; un genio militar que voló de un gobierno opresivo para liderar el ejército revolucionario más grande en la historia de su país, y derrotó a la dictadura para convertirse en el liberador de México, solo para caer nuevamente en desgracia cuando sus tropas lo abandonaron o fueron masacrados por el enemigo.

By William Lansford
With meticulous research, first hand knowledge of guerilla warfare strategy and tactics and a poet's insight into human nature, William Lansford has created one of the most memorable portraits of a human being I've ever read. Villa is etched into stark relief against the background of heroes and villains that made up the chaotic development of modern Mexico. This is truly a magnificent picture of political history as driven by heroic, brutal, vain and all to human, human beings. From the first page, I couldn't put the book down. Lansford is writer of power, intelligence and deep emotion.

By Sabina Berman
Between Pancho Villa and a Naked Woman is a rollicking feminist farce by acclaimed Mexican playwright Sabina Berman. A witty, devilish battle of the sexes comedy that plays fast and loose with gender expectations. In an English-language translation by Shelley Tepperman.

By Eileen Welsome
One of the most compelling figures of the Mexican Revolution was Pancho Villa. He was a violent, hot-tempered man who was absolutely ruthless in destroying perceived enemies; he was also brave, loyal, and devoted to the interests of the long-ignored campesinos. On March 9, 1916, Villa led a raid against the border town of Columbus, New Mexico, presumably to punish the U.S. government for opposing his faction as Mexico descended into civil war. In response, General John Pershing led an expedition into Mexico in a futile effort to track down Villa and his band.

By William Douglas Lansford
Pancho Villa always lived larger than life. His personal magnetism, his smile, uncluttered idealism, and his overwhelming vitality made him a hero in his time and a legend in the years afterward. The purpose of this book is to explore that legend and to extract from it a real, breathing, flesh and blood man - a man of a thousand moods, a saint and a sinner - but most of all human.

By John Reed
In 1910, Mexican peasant Pancho Villa led a rebellion against the wealthy landowners, and fought to redistribute land to the poor Mexican "peons" who worked it for the absentee owners, in what has been called "the first socialist revolution". Originally published as a series of newspaper dispatches, "Insurgent Mexico" was written by American journalist John Reed, who lived with the Mexican rebels, made friends with Pancho Villa, and was nearly killed during a battle with Mexican government forces.

By Germán Olivares García
Wrapped in the turbulence of the Mexican Revolution, a young railroad worker joins the Northern Division. He participates together with General Francisco (Pancho) Villa in the most renowned battles of the time: the battle of Torreón, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Zacatecas, etc. He knows death, betrayal, pain, and indifference up close; but also love, friendship, and companionship. He witnesses the baser passions unleashed by the murderous fury of a repressed society.

By Clifford Irving A Grade-A book that has just about everything – and all of it right. Picture George S. Patton, stuck on the Mexican border spoiling for any sort of military action to justify the family tradition. How would he respond to an American kid ‘colonel’ in a rag-tag Mexican revolutionary army? A rich, evocative book.

Doroteo Arango Arámbula, más conocido como Pancho Villa, es una de las figuras más icónicas y controvertidas de la Revolución mexicana. Su memoria fue relegada, si no atacada, por el régimen posrevolucionario, pero su indudable popularidad, dentro y fuera de México, provocó su incorporación al imaginario revolucionario, con una imagen entre idealizada y brutal.

By Kelly Lytle Hernández
Bad Mexicans tells the dramatic story of the magonistas, the migrant rebels who sparked the 1910 Mexican Revolution from the United States. Led by a brilliant but ill-tempered radical named Ricardo Flores Magon, the magonistas were a motley band of journalists, miners, migrant workers, and more, who organized thousands of Mexican workers—and American dissidents—to their cause.

Por Friedrich Katz (Español)
Es una obra maestra. Cualquier historiador, novelista, periodista o interesado en la vida y obra de Pancho Villa dispondrá de una relación pormenorizada de los hechos, la vida y secuelas personales de Doroteo Arango. Se aprecia sobre todo que no se trata de un fanático admirador del personaje sino de un historiador profesional que asume la enorme responsabilidad de dar razón de los hechos históricos en los que participó este personaje.

By Frank McLynn
Villa and Zapata vividly chronicles the decade of bloody events that followed the eruption of the Mexican Revolution in 1910 and made legends of the rebels Francisco "Pancho" Villa and Emiliano Zapata. Mexico's was the first massive social revolution of the twentieth century, visiting economic, cultural, and racial strife on a country already exploited by oppressive officials and crippled by poverty, but also offering hope to its people.

Cuando solo tenía dieciséis años, mató a un funcionario del gobierno y tuvo que irse a la montaña. Se cuenta que el funcionario había violado a su hermana, pero parece probable que Villa lo mató por insolente. Eso en sí mismo no lo habría proscrito por mucho tiempo en México, donde la vida humana es barata; pero una vez refugiado cometió el imperdonable crimen de robar ganado a los ricos hacendados. Y desde ese momento hasta el estallido de la revolución de Madero, el gobierno mexicano tuvo un precio por su cabeza.

By Martín Luis Guzmán
Martín Luis Guzmán, eminent historian of Mexico, knew and traveled with Pancho Villa at various times during the Revolution. When many years later some of Villa’s private papers, records, and what was apparently the beginning of an autobiography came into Guzmán’s hands, he was ideally suited to blend all these into an authentic account of the Revolution as Pancho Villa saw it, and of the General’s life as known only to Villa himself.

Legend has it that Pancho Villa s grave was robbed and his head stolen in 1926. A gringo is credited with the theft, but Gus Corral s great-grandfather was there too.

It s a jolt when Panchito is stolen from his sister s house.

Pancho Villa, un revolucionario, se apoderó del norte del país mexicano –justo donde se colonizaron los mormones. Muchos dicen que Pancho Villa saqueó y eventualmente corrió a los mormones de México.

Through memoir and newspaper reports, Margarita De Orellana looks at the documentary film-makers who went down to cover events in Mexico. Feature film-makers in Hollywood portrayed the border as the dividing line between order and chaos, in the process developing a series of lasting Mexican stereotypes. Filming Pancho reveals how Mexico was constructed in the American imagination and how movies reinforced and justified both American expansionism and racial and social prejudice.

“There is no doubt that history is written by the victors,” spoke a eulogizer at Pancho Villa’s funeral, “but it is also true that legends are written by the people. For that reason, the name of Francisco Villa has remained enshrined forever in the heart of the poor.” Yes, Pancho Villa is a legend, but he is also a mystery and a bundle of contradictions. This book, coupling noted historian Friedrich Katz’s text with forty-two archival photographs, provides a deep insight into this revolutionary who was a hero for some, a villain for others. Hero or villain, he changed the history of Mexico.

The Underdogs is the first great novel about the first great revolution of the twentieth century. Demetrio Macias, a poor, illiterate Indian, must join the rebels to save his family. Courageous and charismatic, he earns a generalship in Pancho Villa’s army, only to become discouraged with the cause after it becomes hopelessly factionalized. At once a spare, moving depiction of the limits of political idealism, an authentic representation of Mexico’s peasant life, and a timeless portrait of revolution, The Underdogs is an iconic novel of the Latin American experience and a powerful novel about the disillusionment of war.

The Mexican Centaur, Oren Arnold's finest book - and he has written at least eighty - has been half a lifetime in the making. His researches on Pancho Villa began at El Paso, Texas, in 1925, not long after Villa's assassination. Arnold interviewed various of Villa's cavalrymen, various of his women, and many of his children. He has handled Villa's weapons, tried on his uniforms, and touched old scars on wounds suffered by members of Villa's brigdes. He regards Pancho Vill as a peerless leader of men. In depicting Villa from the inside out, Arnold performs a feat that became possible only after he had completely mastered his subject from the outside in.
