A New Compact History of Mexico

While preserving the aim of synthesis and simplicity that served as a basic guideline for the earlier Historia mínima de México, this new work constitutes a completely novel and original manuscript: it contains texts expressly prepared for this edition by another seven authors (for whom biographical sketches are included at the end of the book). It also provides a fresh approach due to its historical and, above all, thanks to its more modern vision grounded on the best foundations possible in view of the more complete, refined knowledge at our disposal in the early years of the twenty-first century.
