Autorenporträt

Neftali Garcia was born in Monterrey, Mexico a son of a United States born father and a Mexico born mother. The family immigrated to the U.S. at the end of World War II and chose residence in San Antonio, Texas. Reared in San Antonio's low-income southside neighborhoods, Neftali and his brother Richard experienced severe privation in a hostile ethnic environment. Determined to escape from poverty, Neftali set his goals to optimize his education and prepare for a career. He earned a doctorate in political science from the University of North Texas. In the years that followed, Dr. Garcia taught politics and constitutional law at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, raised a family, was active in local and state politics, ran for public office, served as administrator for Bexar County Sheriff's Office, and finally retired to pursue his passion to write. His life-long interest in ethnic and class conflicts ultimately led him to the intensive study of his native country's turbulent 1910 Revolution. This book is the product of that commitment to pursue a passion.
