We also take in a chapter or two of Orozco, who was an eyewitness of the revolution:


José Clemente Orozco, an autobiography


These two websites give background to the portion of the revolution that affected Barragán greatly:


Wikipedia’s view of the Cristero War


Jim Tuck’s view of the Cristero War on Mexconnect’s website - in three parts


Rulfo’s full novel is a good one to bring on the plane:
