En este paÃs hay muchos hijos de la chingada y los peores son los seis generales que dieron el golpe contra Madero
La tensión estaba en el aire. La ciudad de México era un hervidero reaccionario y porfirista donde los generales que juraban fidelidad al presidente Madero conspiraban por las noches para dar un golpe de Estado.
Pero qué ocurrió exactamente durante aquellos dÃas de febrero de 1913?
Paco Ignacio Taibo II hace una reconstrucción minuciosa de la confabulación: su gestación en octubre de 1912 en La Habana, un corrupto embajador norteamericano presionando para que el levantamiento se lleve a cabo, las calles del centro tomadas por el ejército la traición se respiraba por toda la ciudad. Pero el presidente no querÃa verlo. Gustavo, su hermano, se lo decÃa: Nos van a matar a todos.
Y asà serÃa.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In this country, there are many sons of bitches, and the worst are the six generals who staged the coup against Madero.
Tension was in the air. Mexico City was a hotbed of reactionary and Porfirian sentiment where generals who swore loyalty to President Madero conspired at night to stage a coup d'état.
But what exactly happened during those days in February 1913?
Paco Ignacio Taibo II meticulously reconstructs the conspiracy: its inception in October 1912 in Havana, a corrupt American ambassador pressuring for the uprising to take place, the downtown streets taken over by the army, and betrayal was felt throughout the city. But the president did not want to see it. Gustavo, his brother, told him: They are going to kill us all.
And so it would be.
