## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Mexican phoenix
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2017*

Every country has its villain and two countries want this man in their gallery: Mexico and the US. This is a great revisionist look at Mexico's most remembered and reviled president, explaining how actually many evils attributed to him were not of his making, and how official history condemned him to ostracism. Santa Anna was a brave, astute, treacherous and seductive man in troubled times for Mexico: he led the resistance against French, American and Spanish invasions to Mexico, traveled the Caribbean, escaped death miraculously many times, died and resurrected many times in politics, and at the end of his life, while living in New York, contributed to a surprising invention that changed the American culture. It's surprising to see how this resourceful man survived so many changes, fell in disgrace and got up again. I liked to hear Santa Anna's own version of the facts —albeit somewhat exaggerated, but this is understandable— taken from his own autobiography written in exile, eye witness accounts of the Alamo, as well as his final words to American reporters when he was well into his 70s, a figure of the past living in Mexico city.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Santa Anna was a great leader of men ...
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019*

If Mexico's Santa Anna had been an American leader, he would be accepted and honored as a great hero.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great counterpoint to american perspectives
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2018*

very thin book, which is quite alright, I knew it was no textbook.  Great counterpoint to american perspectives, though still delves into the kind of propaganda you would teach school children about a national folk hero.  read it, but read other books on the subject as well.
