A decent introduction to the Zapatistas of Chiapas, Mexico. An armed insurgency that unexpectedly won the sympathy of Mexico's civil society, and morphed it into something else.

Really liked the quotations from Subcomandante Marcos, which were witty and occasionally moving. Want to read his books now.

Mostly clear and concise. The chapter on international influence lacked much by way of punch or evidence and the conclusion was not particularly well balanced. However, though the author's stance was clear, most of the book read as a rational, legitimate interpretation of events, but by no means neutral.
