Tornel and Santa Anna the writer and the caudillo, Mexico, 1795-1853 / by Will Fowler.

SeriesContributions in Latin American studies, 1054-6790 ; no. 14
Review "Makes persuasive case that José María Tornel y Mendívil, spin-doctor for Antonio López de Santa Anna, was an important figure in his own right, both as a politician and a writer. Emphasizes the 'great man' school of history, but forces the reader to conclude that the first political generation of independent Mexico boasted a substantial crew of extraordinary personalities"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
