THE UNOFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE 20th CENTURY
The first week in a new series discussing national and international events of our time which have been ignored or misrepresented by the history books. Our cover shows the bloodstained clothes of the assassinated President Madero of Mexico, with a cutting of The Times of 1913 setting out the U.S. Government’s official distress at the tragedy. But in fact, as Malcolm Deas makes clear in his article on page 37, the U.S. Ambassador in Mexico had actively intervened to secure the downfall of Madero.
