Editorial Review from the New York Times: "A distinguished biography."
"Mrs. Baker guides us deftly, with wit and knowledge, through the bewildering mazes of Mexican politics of the time, showing clearly how great was Juarez's integrity and how much his understanding and foresight lightened the weary load which Mexico had borne for centuries. But the story is not all one of politics, for we see him in relation to his lovely wife, his children, and his loyal friends. This is a distinguished biography which adults as well as youth will find extremely rewarding in its contribution to our understanding of Mexico's history and the perspective it thus gives to her problems..."
…Awkward, stolid, but unswerving in his devotion to the truth which the law embodied to him, his life was one of amazing ups and downs. From struggling lawyer to Governor, to political prisoner and penniless exile, he was borne up again on the tide of revolt and counter-revolution to the Presidency of Mexico. Through the comic-tragedy of Maximilian's reign, Juarez never admitted that he was other than the legally elected President, and when he was restored to power he had forgotten none of his aims for legal reform, for education and the betterment of his people in a hundred ways."
