WHAT RECENT READERS SAY:* * * * * "I read a lot, but I've seldom read a biography as exciting as Pancho Villa by William Douglas Lansford. Turning the pages is almost like watching a movie, the action is so fast and vivid and the depiction of Pancho Villa is terrific! On your scale, I give it 5 full stars!" Jason, Santa Barbara, CA * * * * * "William Douglas Lansford's book Pancho Villa paints an enlightening perspective of the man behind the image of the "Bandido." This beautifully written story illustrates how a single act of defensive violence leads Villa to commanding the epic struggle of the Mexican Revolution. Lansford's moving words and true-life story telling portrays a man of humble beginnings, common faults and military genius; a fascinating story that needed to be told." Eddie, Azuza, CA * * * * *"I've just finished reading this amazing account of history's most famous or infamous guerilla fighter, Pancho Villa. What an intriguing individual Villa was, and what a great job Lansford does in bringing this figure to life in your head. The pages flew by and I was dissappointed the book had to end. I can't remember when a book has so held my attention span and gripped my thoughts that I could feel the desert heat and taste the trail dust in my mouth. I wish my history books had been this interesting in school. When's his next book coming?" Christopher, Playa del Rey, CA |
