Real Life "Wild Bunch" Photos of the Mexican RevolutionBy Gregory KerwinThis is a spectacularly informative and fun picture book of the Mexican Revolution of the early 20th Century. played out across the Rio Grande/ Rio Bravo del Norte forming the US and Mexico border between El Paso. Texas and Ciudad Juarez. Chihuahua. The story is told in over 200 photographs that directly call to mind "The Wild Bunch." showing the same mix of desert fighting. brand-new biplanes and armored cars. American troopers. Mexican federales and revolutionists that is typical of the period and the Peckinpah film. Mexican insurrectionists in tall-crowned sombreros intermingle with cavalry troops from Fort Bliss. next to El Paso. You see snipers working from behind adobe walls; firing squads of both sides in action; each of the long line of generals and statesmen who became president only to be assassinated; Pancho Villa in his vainglorious poses; railcars full of paisanos rolling into Juarez to fight for liberty. This photo grouping was carefully collected - it is extremely successful in providing texture for the Revolution. The minimal text would benefit from the addition of dates for some of the key events. and a timeline or outline of the Revolution to provide more context for the incredibly real. present and immediate photos.
