Temporada de zopilotes
Paco Ignacio Taibo II

NONFICTION | 2020 | 160 pages

The tension was palpable. Mexico City was a hotbed of reactionary, Porfirian sentiment, where generals who had sworn allegiance to President Madero conspired at night to stage a coup.

But what exactly happened during those days in February 1913?

Paco Ignacio Taibo II meticulously reconstructs the conspiracy: its inception in October 1912 in Havana, a corrupt American ambassador pressuring for the uprising to take place, the streets of the city center occupied by the army—the sense of betrayal permeated the entire city. But the president refused to see it. His brother, Gustavo, told him: "They're going to kill us all."

And so it was.
