A Concise History Of Mexico is the answer to my searchBy Roman GomezMy father recounted the history of Mexico often to us; his children; as we grew up; on manydifferent occasions; after dinner; sitting on the front porch on an afternoon. He was very wellread and had a photographic memory and loved to recount these stories. With the passingof time I realized that while I remembered some of his conversations; the History is a verycomplicated one and I didnt have an idea of how they all "tied together". This book explains clearlythe chronological sequence of events0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
