From Ancient Civilizations to Modern Icons — Discover the People Who Shaped Mexico

Who made Mexico? Not just emperors and presidents, but poets, warriors, rebels, artists, scientists, saints, and revolutionaries.

Spanning over 180 million years — from prehistoric fossils to 20th-century thinkers — 101 People Who Made Mexico tells the sweeping story of a nation through the lives of the people who shaped its destiny. You'll meet famous figures like Frida Kahlo, Benito Juárez, Pancho Villa, and Hernán Cortés, alongside lesser-known yet fascinating characters — from Mayan queens and Aztec philosophers to printing pioneers, tequila inventors, and Medal of Honor winners.

Some changed the country through politics or war. Others transformed it with words, art, faith, or innovation. All left their mark.

Part of the 101 People series, this book is history as it should be — vivid, personal, and impossible to put down. Whether you're a history lover, student, traveler, or curious reader, this is your essential guide to the human story behind modern Mexico.
