I didn't like the picture of the Capitol Building on the cover of the newest edition of Alt-Everything.
So I slapped a picture of Mexican Rebels, circa 1910, on the book. It's appropriate because the book's first essay, 1911: The Revolt of Modero, studies U.S. and Mexican policy in 1911 as Francisco Modero sought power and the U.S. professed neutrality.
Interesting, brutal stuff.
The little guy in the picture looks about 10 years old.
It was a revolution. Porfirio Diaz was a monster, and not coincidentally, a strong U.S. ally. He had to go.
Mexico. What a place.
