The first general history of Mexico to be published in English in nearly thirty years, Richard Grabman's Gods, Gachupines and Gringos is one of the only Mexican histories ever written with the general reader in mind.Gods, Gachupines and Gringos is written in a radically non-academic style, putting flesh and bones on the dusty figures of the past and shedding light on the common humanity of the Mexican people throughout history, often with suprising wit and humor.

Bosques' War is a translation of an oral history of the World War II experiences of Gilberto Bosques (1894 – 1997), who, as Mexico 's Consul General in Marseilles, France, used his country's neutrality in the early part of the war to protect and save tens of thousands of persecuted people. Grabman, as an introduction to the interview, provides a brief overview of Mexican diplomacy in the 1930s and 1940s to provide the reader with a historical perspective on Bosques' diplomatic activities, which continued with the Cuban missile crisis of the 1960s.
This book should fascinate those interested in World War II history, Mexican history or the well known feats of Raoul Wallenberg, who was specifically sent by the Swedish government to save people from the Nazis. Bosques did it all on his own and is finally being recognized for his effort.

Not so unthinkable because of her gender, but because of her socialistic plans for America. Example is her proposed health care program. She has stated if an individual refuses to sign up and pay whatever price has been set for enrollment, the individual will have that amount garnished from their paycheck and be automatically enrolled. So much for freedom of choice. Most of her approach to solving problems is more government involvement at the cost of the working class by higher taxation. Don’t be sucked in by all her fanciful promises because her record shows she is a liar of the same mold as her husband. It’s all about having power to the Clintons and not so much about watching out for citizens.
