About This Item
Mexico City: Tip. Moderna de Carlos Paz, 1887. About very good.. [2],132pp. Contemporary half calf and marbled boards, gilt tooled. Boards scuffed, with some patches of light dampstaining; spine ends and corners worn. Light toning internally. Author's gift inscription on third leaf recto. Scarce, late 19th-century treatise on the national defense of Mexico by the head of the cavalry and prolific military author, Eduardo Paz. The first section of the present work considers the potential strategies and logistics of new invasions by the country's most recent adversaries, France and the United States. In the second section, Paz details his theories for proper defense of the nation, including the make-up of military units, their placement, required support staff and services, and much more. This copy is inscribed by the author to Sosteñes Rocha, an important figure in the Republican army and a confidant of Juarez during the Second French Intervention; at the time of this book's publication, he was the head of the Colegio Militar. We locate only one copy, at UT Austin.
