Description:Why did Jos� de Le�n Toral kill �lvaro Obreg�n, leader of the Mexican Revolution? So far, historians have characterized the motivations of the young Catholic militant as the fruit of fanaticism. This book offers new insights on how diverse sectors experienced the aftermath of the revolution by exploring the religious, political, and cultural contentions of the 1920s. Far from an isolated fanatic, Le�n Toral represented a generation of Mexicans who believed that the revolution had unleashed ancient barbarism, sinful consumerism, and anticlerical tyranny. Facing attacks against the Catholic essence of Mexican nationalism, they emphasized asceticism, sacrifice, and the redemptive potential of violence. Their reckless enthusiasm to launch assaults was a sign of their devotion. Le�n Toral insisted that "only God" was his accomplice; in fact, he was cheered by thousands who dreamed of bringing the Kingdom of Christ to beleaguered Mexico.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
