Description

Red Mexico: A Nation Under Persecution In 1920s Mexico, President Plutarco Elías Calles and General Álvaro Obregón's government enforced cruel anticlerical laws, imposing harsh penalties on the Catholic Church. Francis McCullagh sheds light on this dark period in Mexican history, revealing the brutal reality of life under these oppressive laws. The author examines the purpose behind these laws and the key figures involved, tracing the events that led to the Cristero War, a widespread uprising by ordinary people against the government's persecution of Catholics. This book is a valuable primary source account of a nation fighting for its right to practice its faith, written by a man who was there at the time. A foreword by Bishop Martín Dávila Gándara and a historical appendix by María Concepción Márquez Sandoval add depth and context to this important work.
