C mo fue que Madero se deslind de su futuro como empresario para entrar en el mundo de la pol tica? Qu implic su visi n espiritista? Qu pas realmente en Ciudad Ju rez? El respeto a la ley fue su principal problema? Y la pregunta constante que uno podr a hacerle a Francisco I. Madero: est bamos listos para la democracia o s lo solt al tigre, como dijo Porfirio D az? Madero es m s que su artero asesinato por rdenes de Victoriano Huerta; es m s que su lema "sufragio efectivo, no reelecci n", es m s que un ingenuo o un inocente en el poder. La historia oficial lo llam el "m rtir de la democracia", pero lo convirti en un h roe sin sentido. ...] Sin un juicio sobre el personaje, Rosa Luisa Guerra y Edgar Rojano ponen las piezas del rompecabezas maderista sobre la mesa para que sean los lectores quienes lo armen por completo y tengan su propia interpretaci n. Venga pues la historia de quien, en su momento, fue llamado "el ap stol de la democracia". .- Alejandro Rosas ENGLISH DESCRIPTION How and why did Madero leave his life and future as a business man to enter the political arena? What did his spiritual vision suggest? What really happened in Ciudad Juarez? Was respect for the law his primary obstacle? And the most relevant question that one could ask Francisco I. Madero: were they ready for democracy or did he just pull the trigger, as Porfirio D az said? "Madero is more than his devious murder by orders of Victoriano Huerta; he is more than his motto "a working and effective suffrage, no re-election"; he is more than a naive and innocent man in power. Mexico's official story has named him the "martyr of democracy", but it also made him a meaningless hero. "Without any judgment of character, Rosa Luisa Guerra and Edgar Rojano put the pieces of the "Maderista" puzzle on the table for the readers themselves to solve it and make their own interpretations and analyses. So here it is, the story of a man who has been called "the apostle of democracy"." -Alejandro Rosas
