The General Máximo Castillo quote by Friedrich Katz

"Castillo never used the power and the resources at his disposal to enrich himself during the age of revolution. His memory truly needs to be rescued from oblivion, and these memoirs will contribute to that endeavor to a significant extent. They are a living testimonial of the history of the great popular revolution that swept Mexico, and particularly Chihuahua, beginning in 1910." .... Friedrich Katz
