From=20Mexico, I wouldn't agree that the book by Tello D=EDaz is an objecti=
ve=20
description of what has happened here. While I don't doubt many things=20
reported in it are true, some of them have no clear reference, even being=

fundamental for the analysis. Moreover, I don't see the whole truth=20
there. Tello D=EDaz hhas published another book before "El Poder. Historias=

de Familia" where he talks about the history of Porfirio Diaz in Paris,=20
after exile. The book is bad. Badly written, bouncing from theme to=20
theme. I see lack of ideas, and lack of writing abilities...
