"Lamenting the lack of historical studies on Guanajuato in the early stages of the Revolution, the author provides an excellent study of Maderista politics at the state and local levels. The focus is on political action and elections, including contests for the governorship in 1911 and for the national congress in 1912. Military action was not important in the state in making the transition to the Madero era, but there were a number of local revolts against Madero"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas /
