“This is the month Mexico honors the heroes of its revolution, and they come in all forms. There are the rugged rebels, like Pancho Villa, who rampaged through the northern deserts a century ago.

And then there is the soft-spoken venerable professor from Chicago, native of Austria and adopted son of Mexico. His scholarship has preserved and elevated the legacy of the revolution, cutting an intellectual swath no less striking than Villa’s cavalry.

To many in Mexico, Friedrich Katz is a hero too.”*
