Waugh insisted in its opening words: 'This is a political book'; it traced the expropriation of British and American oil interests in Mexico by its repressive Marxist government. It described the current political and social inequities suffered by both its Mexican citizens and foreign companies trading there and also provided a powerful account of the history of Catholic persecution in the country. Its narratives offered an implicit but potent warning about the barbarity of totalitarian regimes as war in Western Europe grew increasingly likely."-- $c Publisher's website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Waugh, Evelyn, $d 1903-1966. $t Robbery under law. 700 1 $a Brennan, Michael G., $e editor. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000114490918 800 1 $a Waugh, Evelyn, $d 1903-1966. $t Works. $f 2017 ; $v v. 24. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F5B1CBC83D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
