ISBN: 1610694287

A comprehensive overview of Mexico's military history from 1810 to the present day, including rare facts and information not found online. Mexico's past is riddled with stories of struggle—military battles, internal rebellions, revolutions, and drug wars. This in-depth reference provides a complete military history of that country since its War of Independence in 1810 through the present day. From the evolution of combat in the region, to the motivations and tensions behind recurrent conflicts, to the dubious beginnings of drug gangs and warlords, this is the only book of its kind to explore Mexican warfare in such great depth. This detailed study consists of an alphabetical compilation of roughly 300 entries dealing with different facets of hostile encounters throughout the country's history. In addition to covering key places and people, regional expert and author David F. Marley offers unique insights into more obscure topics such as the 1913 aerial bombardments at the port of Guaymas, visits from American luminaries, colorful Mexican military slang, and the songs that identify various political factions. The work includes a host of important historical documents, a glossary, and an extensive bibliography to encourage further research on the subject.

Synopsis: "Damned Beings. The Origin" is a coral novel which presents a gallery of supernatural characters in an urban, cruel and chaotic world. A tormented vampire, necromancers, demons and shapeshifters living together with prostitutes and all kinds of marginal beings. The monster within the monster. The villain inside the hero and the hero inside the villain in a story where nothing is what it seems, which delves into the perspective of the monster, in its fears and insecurities, in its defects and virtues. Greed, cruelty and violence; despair, loneliness and pain; and humor and sex as a means of escape. Welcome to a world of dark fantasy, where humor, mystery, tenderness, eroticism, magic, psychological terror and suspense mix together. Opinions: "Original, different, intriguing... It is all tat and much more. Through its pages vampires, necromancers, demons parade, but they are not the typical charaters we would expect. They are deep characters, capable of the greatest tenderness and the biggest crimes, contradictory, sensitive, human" Gemma Gerrero, writer. "If you like the vampire, dark beings and magic genre, Damned Beings is your novel and, if not, you will be able to find a book full of very human feelings which will excite you," Ara. "It easily and intelligently drives the action long with the mystery in a novel starring vampires, necromancers, demons, among others, where nothing is at it seems and in which the hero and the villain can switch roles at any time. Splashed with love, fantasy, sex and humor, it is an agile and very nice novel." Pilar Camo. "Damned Beins is written with tremendous craftsmanship, the craftsmanship of professional writing which proposes a complex and different writing in an eroded world where nothing is as it seems." Red Literario Falsaria. "A whole excercise of overflowing imagination with an ending which leaves an open, implicit promise that the second part will be very exciting." Escritorio del buho Blog. "A book which charms through its good pace, which utilizes a simple language to build a plot based on a good labor of documentation. Crude, fun, sex, hate... a lot of ingredients which fascinate together. I found myself devouring the pages, like abducted by a plot and some characters from whom I needed to know more" Libros que voy leyendo Blog. "It presents a series of dark characters with sparks of humanity. With a contemporary language that does not become vulgar, with constant winks at movies, music and even TV shows currently present, historical characters, with a great sense of humor, Eba keeps the reader avid for more reading" La princesa ya se ve Blog. A book loaded with subliminal messages where very real situations are present, like: bullying, abuse, love, hate and revenge, so it makes you follow two possible readings: the easy and nice one or the one that, between the lines, shows you the society we live in. Rigorously documented and full of literary, musical and humorous brushes, it makes its reading addictive. Along with Dracula, it's one of the best I have read," Nuria. Every damned page of this story knows how to catch the interest of the reader," Juan Manuel. The second part of the saga, Damned Beings. The Conversion, is already available, both in paper and in digital version. The author is working, currently, on the third book of the saga.

The French and Indian War strengthened the bonds of the British colonists settled on the eastern shores as they eagerly sought news about the outcomes of the battles at Ticonderoga, Niagara, Duquesne, and Quebec, battles that would determine if America would be a French or a British colony. During the War of Independence newspapers would once again serve as a national clearing-house for reports of the first stirrings of the revolutionary movement, the gloomy first years of defeat and retreat, and finally of resurgence, triumph, and sovereignty.
