WOMACK JR. J. Morire per gli Indios. Storia di Emiliano Zapata. Milano, Mondadori 1973, In 8° cart. con sovrac., pp. 535 + 7 n.n. + 16 tavole in nero. Collana Le Scie Buono (Good) . <br> <br> <br>
br. Nel Messico del 1910 un popolo di contadini si solleva perché non vuole essere scacciato dalla terra su cui è nato e cresciuto. A dar fuoco alle polveri sono i contadini del Morelos, ma l'esplosione coinvolge ben presto l'intero paese. È l'epopea degli Indios e dei Peones, ma è soprattutto il tempo di Emiliano Zapata, il contadino chiamato prima dal suo "pueblo" e poi da tutti i villaggi messicani a guidare la lotta. Emiliano Zapata si distingue da tutti gli altri capi rivoluzionari per capacità militari e per singolare intuito politico. Il leader si appropria dell'arte dell'insurrezione, impara e perfeziona la tattica e la strategia della guerriglia e, soprattutto, si sforza sempre di far coincidere l'azione rivoluzionaria con le attese dei contadini e con le istanze democratiche delle città. Costretto a una lunga lotta, violentissima e senza esclusione di colpi, Zapata crea un vero e proprio esercito popolare di liberazione che, attraverso durissime prove - dal fallimento di Madero al tradimento di Carranza - riesce a condurre la politica messicana a importanti riforme nelle campagne. Prefazione di Valerio Evangelisti.
