To some a national hero; to others, an international rogue* A clear and concise treatment of Mexicos foremost military hero* Provides a fascinating glimpse of Mexican political and cultural history* Part of Brasseys new "Military Profiles" seriesMost Americans regarded Antonio Lpez de Santa Anna as a villain for his brutal assault on the Alamo in 1836. What many dont realize is that few individuals have caused their own nation greater pain. He lost onethird of Mexicos territory in wars, sold almost another 30,000 square miles while pocketing most of the money, and repeatedly bankrupted the nation. His extravagance was legendary, as testified to by the burial of his amputated leg at the nations great expense. He served as his countrys president eleven different times over a span of thirty years and was constantly involved in devious political intrigue. Yet, in spite of his failings and notorious reputation today, Santa Anna was often viewed by his people as a hero and savior. Robert Scheina analyzes this complex man and provides a solid overview of Mexicos political history against the fabric of social and cultural turmoil.
