Antología de la planeación en México, 1917-1985

Los de abjo treats what is perhaps the saddest period in modern Mexican history, a period of aimless slaughter when a whole nation was plunged into strife by leaders who had few clear ideas of what they were striving for. The reader shares the same disillusionment that the author himself must have felt as he met leader after leader whose revolutionary zeal was merely a disguise for base passions and desires.

Concludes that there were 'important differences' but also 'essential overlaps' between Calles and Cárdenas. Cardenismo would not have been possible without the Maximato"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
