“Raid and Reconciliation addresses the critical issue of violence in the borderlands by drawing our attention to a cross-border region that hasn’t received much historical attention. . . . Despite the great interest in the borderlands, few historians have done the research, the thinking, and the writing necessary to draw both sides of the border into one story so effectively.”—Samuel Brunk, author of The Posthumous Career of Emiliano Zapata: Myth, Memory, and Mexico’s Twentieth Century
“Many borderlands histories focus mainly on the U.S. side, but Raid and Reconciliation demonstrates an excellent knowledge of Mexican history. This truly transnational approach offers a significant contribution to the literature and serves as a model for similar research.”—Jeffrey P. Shepherd, author of Guadalupe Mountains National Park: An Environmental History of the Southwest Borderlands
