Description



Book Synopsis



La biografía del mayor estratega militar de la Revolución mexicana.


El retorno del sujeto como protagonista de la historia es recurrente. La biografía histórica intenta reconstruir los procesos con un enfoque multicausal en el que el biografiado es un factor explicativo. Esto contribuye a reformular preguntas y examinar interpretaciones.


La trayectoria y figura de Álvaro Obregón han registrado grandes cambios de percepción, tanto en vida como después de su muerte. Este libro es un recorrido desde su infancia, que vivió asediado por la penuria y las epidemias, hasta su llegada a la presidencia de México. También narra las causas que hicieron posible su carrera militar, cómo fue que llegó de la periferia al centro del país, y la manera en que el empuje de sus tropas influyó en el rumbo de la nación. Incluye también su regreso a Sonora en 1925, su segunda gira presidencial en 1927-1928, hasta caer abatido en julio como candidato victorioso.


La lectura de estas páginas --que no buscan culpar ni absolver, sino explicar-- permitirá al lector decidir si el pequeño agricultor y mutilado de guerra, que pasó de ser maestro de escuela a presidente de la República, fue un héroe o un tirano, mártir o césar.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


The biography of the greatest military strategist of the Mexican Revolution.


The return of the individual as the protagonist of history is a recurring theme. Historical biography aims to reconstruct processes with a multi-causal approach where the biographed individual is an explanatory factor. This helps to reformulate questions and examine interpretations.


The life and figure of Álvaro Obregón have undergone significant changes in perception, both during his life and after his death. This book takes you from his childhood, marked by poverty and epidemics, to his rise to the presidency of Mexico. It also narrates the causes that made his military career possible, how he moved from the periphery to the center of the country, and how the drive of his troops influenced the nation's direction. It includes his return to Sonora in 1925, his second presidential tour in 1927-1928, and his downfall in July as a victorious candidate.


Reading these pages--aimed not at blaming or absolving, but at explaining--will allow the reader to decide if the small farmer and war amputee, who went from being a schoolteacher to the president of the Republic, was a hero or a tyrant, a martyr or a Caesar.
