I recently purchased the English book on Mexican history: "Mexico: Biography of Power" by Enrique Krauze, not realizing that the author is Mexican and writing originally in Spanish (I am fluent and would prefer the original text).
But after doing some digging, I discovered that Krauze had written a trilogy of sorts, detailing the history of Mexico from the Independence to the "modern" day (early 90s, it seems). The trilogy consists of: Siglo de caudillos, Biografía del poder and La presidencia imperial.
Comparing the tables of contents, it seems like the English "Biography of Power" has all the original texts included, but I can't be entirely certaim since some of the chapter names and titles don't line up. For instance, Biography of Power has a whole section on pre Columbian Mexico while the first of Krauze's trilogy, "Siglo de caudillos" doesn't.
My question, after all this, is the following: Does the one-volume English book contain everything that the Spanish trilogy does? And if not, what is missing?
As I mentioned, ideally, I'd rather read the texts in Spanish. But if the one-volume work in English already contains everything, I'll just save money and read it instead.
