Book: The Annexation of Mexico: From the Aztecs to the I.M.F.
By John Ross
“With different flags they came to conquer us…they came and they went and we kept on being Mexicans because the only flag we want to walk around under has an eagle devouring a snake on it…”
Subcomandante Marcos, March 1995
Available from: www.leftbooks.comSubcomandante Marcos, March 1995
John Ross is "the new John Reed covering a new Mexican revolution."
Blanche Petrich of La Jornada
"Vivid and powerful."
Howard Zinn
From a 1995 winner of the American Book Award (Rebellion From the Roots: Indian Uprising in Chiapas) comes a rip-roaring review of Mexico's 500-year resistance to annexation.
The Annexation of Mexico also picks its way through contemporary mine fields: the Reagan administration's little-known offer to buy Baja California for $105 billion; the peso collapse and Clinton's bail-out of U.S. investors; and the pungent corruption in Mexico's anti-drug hierarchy.

Hi Annmarie
Thanks for your comments on the Blog. You are right GC is the more serious Green anti Conservative government Blog and DC is my fun Blog. Brother in Law IS a new Blogger but he seems to have got the bit between his teeth and has turned into a Blogging fool!! He is an accomplished (and published) author and is quite passionate (as you have seen) about his "rocks" and caving.
Anyway, all the best. I will probably start blogging some more on GC soon as it looks like the Harper government is doing its best to imitate the Bush government :-(

You are so right about Harper and Bush! :(
I look forward to more comments from you on GC. Your voice is needed!
BTW your bro-in-law's blog is awesome! He must be very talented and a quick learner and really dedicated to doing what he likes the best.
