Dedicatoria con tinta en primera blanca (1949). 20 ilustraciones fuera de paginado.Esta invasión del mundo europeo constituye el nacimiento de una nación de rostros plurales, donde lo autóctono convive con lo foráneo. La obra habla de esta decisiva transición y la hace encarnar en el último tlatoani azteca.

México, Miguel Ángel Porrúa, 2010.4o mayor, 2 vol. 2066 pp. Encuadernación rígida del editor con camisa. Edición facsimilar de 1908.Pocas obras han tenido tal resonancia e incidencia histórica inmediata como la que aquí nos ocupa. A más de un siglo de distancia, el libro de don Francisco I. Madero conserva rigurosa vigencia; es más, todos esos años de impulsos revolucionarios acrecientan su valor testimonial. Más allá de su importancia histórica, La sucesión presidencial en 1910 se ha convertido en referente a partir de la cual se puede sopesar lo conseguido y lo que aún falta. El lector tendrá acceso a las enmiendas, reescrituras y supresiones que cimentaron un texto que cambió la historia mexicana.
