Guerrero was born into a wealthy family in Guanajuato, Mexico, in 1882. While still a young man, he renounced his inheritance, claiming that he would rather earn his meals through manual labor than secure them by exploiting his fellow human beings. Within less than a decade, he was a central figure in the transnational revolutionary network established by the Organizational Council of the Mexican Liberal Party (PLM), which was dedicated to deposing the dictator Porfirio Díaz and promoting anar-chist revolution throughout Mexico. He was killed in battle at the age of twenty-eight in 1910.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGuerrero was also one of the most prolific and talented revolutionary writ-ers of his era, penning numerous articles that were known for both their literary style and their polemical force.
