3. Prior to publication of the Ronfeldt volume, little was available for those interested in Mexico's military establishment, and what was available was largely based on research conducted in the early 1970s and earlier. See, for example, Edwin Lieuwen, Mexican Militarism: The Political Rise and Fall of the Revolutionary Army, 1910-1940 (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1968); Franklin D. Margiotta, “Civilian Control and the Mexican Military: Changing Patterns of Political Influence,” in Civilian Control of the Military: Theories and Cases from Developing Countries, edited by Claude E. Welch, Jr. (Albany, N.Y.: State University of New York Press, 1976); and David Ronfeldt, “The Mexican Army and Political Order since 1940,” in Armies and Politics in Latin America, edited by Abraham F. Lowenthal (New York: Holmes and Meier, 1976).
