Summary

¿Cómo fue que Madero se deslindó de su futuro como empresario para entrar en el mundo de la política? ¿Qué implicó su visión espiritista? ¿Qué pasó realmente en Ciudad Juárez? ¿El respeto a la ley fue su principal problema? Y la pregunta constante que uno podría hacerle a Francisco I. Madero: ¿estábamos listos para la democracia o sólo soltó al tigre, como dijo Porfirio Díaz?

«Madero es más que su artero asesinato por órdenes de Victoriano Huerta; es más que su lema “sufragio efectivo, no reelección”, es más que un ingenuo o un inocente en el poder. La historia oficial lo llamó el “mártir de la democracia”, pero lo convirtió en un héroe sin sentido. […] Sin un juicio sobre el personaje, Rosa Luisa Guerra y Edgar Rojano ponen las piezas del rompecabezas maderista sobre la mesa para que sean los lectores quienes lo armen por completo y tengan su propia interpretación. Venga pues la historia de quien, en su momento, fue llamado “el apóstol de la democracia”.».- Alejandro Rosas

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

How and why did Madero leave his life and future as a business man to enter the political arena? What did his spiritual vision suggest? What really happened in Ciudad Juarez? Was respect for the law his primary obstacle? And the most relevant question that one could ask Francisco I. Madero: were they ready for democracy or did he just pull the trigger, as Porfirio Díaz said?
 
“Madero is more than his devious murder by orders of Victoriano Huerta; he is more than his motto "a working and effective suffrage, no re-election"; he is more than a naive and innocent man in power. Mexico’s official story has named him the "martyr of democracy", but it also made him a meaningless hero.
 
”Without any judgment of character, Rosa Luisa Guerra and Edgar Rojano put the pieces of the “Maderista” puzzle on the table for the readers themselves to solve it and make their own interpretations and analyses. So here it is, the story of a man who has been called "the apostle of democracy".” -Alejandro Rosas
