The largest land battles ever to occur on the North American continent outside of the US Civil War took place during the Mexican Revolution, yet there has never been any scholarship approaching what might be called traditional military history, and certainly no monographs that holistically treat the topics of tactics, operations, and strategy—until now.
While a common perception of the Mexican Revolution as a guerrilla war persists, author Joe Lee Janssens draws on access to the restricted archives of the Mexican Secretary of Defense and the use of long-overlooked primary sources to illuminate a scope, scale, and sophistication of operations that is in every way consistent with maneuver warfare.
Covering the rise and fall of Francisco Madero from 1910 to the beginning of 1913, this first book in a fascinating series offers a fresh view of the Mexican Revolution, revealing it as, first and foremost, a crisis within the defense establishment initiated by Madero’s rebellion.
Introducing colorful actors, putting motives and influences (including that of the United States) into proper perspective, and exploring the role of the conflict in shaping the nation of Mexico, Dr. Janssens brings history vividly to life.

Maneuver and Battle in the Mexican Revolution: Rise of the Praetorians

Janssens, Joe Lee

History

Part 1 of the second entry in the Maneuver and Battle in the Mexican Revolution trilogy, covers the mobilization, institutional beginnings, and operations of the Constitutionalist Army from its founding to the end of 1913. Of particular note are General Francisco “Pancho” Villa’s campaign to conquer Chihuahua, General Álvaro Obregón’s successful Guaymas Valley Campaign, and General Pablo González’s Tamaulipas Campaign. As the scope, scale, and sophistication of military operations continue to increase, the Federal Army expands, reorganizes, and popularizes, forfeiting its claim to professional exceptionalism in the process.

Americas

Part 2 of the second entry in the Maneuver and Battle in the Mexican Revolution trilogy introduces and analyzes the strategy proposals formulated by the First Chief’s key generals and the Federal Army General Staff in the winter of 1914. Federal Army tactical doctrine and weapons systems—employed by all sides—are also presented. In the ensuing operations, superior Constitutionalist strategy and Norteño defense traditions precipitate a revolution in Mexican military affairs that overwhelms the flawed European model made infamous by Santa Anna, and culminate in such epic battles as Torreón and Zacatacas, a Constitutionalist victory in August 1914, and another realignment of forces in the Revolution. By the end of 1914 the entire country, from Sonora to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and the Yucatan Peninsula are brought into the scope of conventional military operations, and the stage is set for the climactic battles of 1915.

Military

By the end of 1914 the Federal Army had been destroyed and the nation was fully mobilized for war. The Revolution Triumphant failed to agree upon a national agenda at the Convention of Aguascalientes and experienced a schism along sectional lines that bore a striking resemblance to the U.S. Civil War. The industrial Northeast and maritime regions joined the Northwest to defeat a powerful military-agricultural complex. In the ensuing campaigns of 1915, Conventionists and Constitutionalists ranged far and wide, fighting battles such as Celaya, El Ébano, and Trinidad, the largest ever to occur on the North American continent outside of the U.S. Civil War. A war effort of such epic scope, scale, sophistication, and speed of operations demanded the greatest attentions of Grand Strategy, and in its wake left the Constitutionalist Army with the institutional rigor necessary for governing. Part 1 follows the Rebirth of the Military-Agricultural Complex up to its high-water mark at the Battles of Celaya.
