Educators:
Use the book in class!
"In Plain Sight" is an excellent book to bring the story of the Mexican Revolution to life. Sommerfeld came to Chihuahua in 1908 just as the simmering uneasiness with Dictator Porfirio Diaz turned into open conflict. As a German naval intelligence agent, Sommerfeld joined the anti-reelectionist movement, witnessed Francisco Madero's rise to power, and defended Madero's presidency against attacks from the right and the left. The story of the causes and course of the Mexican Revolution comes to life through the eyes of a German spy.
