Brunk shows us Zapata the leader. Brunk describes a Zapata who demonstrated a profound understanding of the people and culture in which he operated. Zapata contributed the ideology and organization that his movement needed to be successful, and his choices and actions made him an effective leader on the local and regional levels. Clearly written and carefully argued narrative presents a less mythical and more human Emiliano Zapata against the dramatic and chaotic background of the Mexican Revolution.
