Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Pancho Villa–the man, the myth, the legend is covered in great detail in Professor Friedrich Katz’s book “The Life and Times of Pancho Villa”. Katz goes beyond Villa’s popular image as a ruthless Robin Hood to investigate his role as the leader of the largest revolutionary army in Latin America history and the raid he made on U.S. land in 1915.
