The Cristero war is the subject of Red Mexico: A Reign of Terror in America by Frank McCullagh (New York: Carrier, 1928). However, the book has long been out of print.

Wow! I hope this story gets out there.......1920s Mexico is unbelievable parallel to what is happening today in the US. Also, Woodrow Wilson supported the persecution & slaughter of Catholics at the hands of Mexican officials. Sick.

This is one I will want to see.

I met someone whose family was caught up in the cristero revolt, and it has long intrigued me. Especially since it seems to have mostly gone down the memory hole.

The French Revolution took my family to Mexico in the late 1700's, as two French brothers were touring Mexico at the time.

The Mexican Revolution of the early 1900's sent my Mexican family to the USA. My grandfather married an American who was half Spanish and half Irish, so the Mexican family came here via the grandmother's American citizenship. The Irish great grandmother left Ireland in the potato famine, made it ALL the way to California and married a Spanish-Californian. She left us her turned up Irish nose.

My mother's stories of her family's immigration had some to do with wars in Europe.

This is the last stop!!! I ain't going anywhere!
