Pancho Villa was a badass! Not the best person but a badass nonetheless haha

This is the 1810 rebellion, not the 1910 revolution.

Kind of strangely, I had the Friedrich Katz bio of Pancho Villa in mind when I said this one was short and didn't get overly involved. That Villa bio was like 700ish pages before the notes and was comprehensive, but I didn't actually care that much and didn't really have the background to understand a lot of the more intricate political in fighting.
