Cuando los republicanos liberaron París

Desmond Seward nació en París y se formó en Gran Bretaña. Desde que en 1972 apareciera la primera versión de Los monjes de la guerra, ha entrado en la Orden de Malta, lo que le ha dado la oportunidad de profundizar en los temas que siempre le han interesado. Entre su extensa bibliografía destacan The Bourbon Kings of France (1970), Eleanor of Aquitaine (1978), Napoleon and Hitler (1990) y Caravaggio: a passionate life (1998). Con posterioridad ha estado trabajando en el estudio de la llamada Guerra de las Rosas.

Este libro tiene un doble mensaje. Para los mexicanos la singularidad de su nación. Benito Juárez, liberal laico. Un Porfirio Díaz, que moderniza México durante 40 años y una revolución mexicana netamente popular. Y hoy tienen Estado, nación e identidad. Para el lector peruano lo mexicano será casi como un reproche, el envés de su retardo. La esperanza está en la gran transformación que proviene de la reforma agraria, la inmigración interna y la cultura chola. Pero faltan intelectuales que vengan de abajo.
