ISBN: 0307475999
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
The definitive history of the often forgotten U.S.-Mexican War paints an intimate portrait of the major players and their world—from Indian fights and Manifest Destiny, to secret military maneuvers, gunshot wounds, and political spin. “If one can read only a single book about the Mexican-American War, this is the one to read.” —The New York Review of Books Often overlooked, the U.S.-Mexican War featured false starts, atrocities, and daring back-channel negotiations as it divided the nation, paved the way for the Civil War a generation later, and launched the career of Abraham Lincoln. Amy S. Greenberg’s skilled storytelling and rigorous scholarship bring this American war for empire to life with memorable characters, plotlines, and legacies. Along the way it captures a young Lincoln mismatching his clothes, the lasting influence of the Founding Fathers, the birth of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and America’s first national antiwar movement. A key chapter in the creation of the United States, it is the story of a burgeoning nation and an unforgettable conflict that has shaped American history.

Book Description
This bibliography differs from the previous publications in this series since it concerns a specific time in American history, the Mexican War period from 1835 to 1850. From a military standpoint, the victorious efforts of American military forces can be considered as the proving ground for the Army and the Navy that emerged during the Civil War. The annexation of Texas and the acquisition of lands from Mexico predestined both the expansion of the United States to the Pacific and the conflict which divided brother from brother. This bibliography lists pertinent materials to be found in the Military History Research Collection related to this part of American history and is not intended to be a definite listing of bibliographic references on the period.

Mexico Redux
Author: Philip F. RosePublisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 147594330X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Before the tragedy of the Civil War tore the United States in two, America was involved in another war, one that has not received nearly the attention it deserves. In fact, the Mexican-American War, 1846 1848, could arguably be called the training ground for the Civil War a little over a decade later. Author Phillip F. Rose turns the spotlight on this important historical event in American history in Mexico Redux. Rose digs into the heart of this conflict and calls it the most significant war in American history. Through an eclectic mix of fact and fiction, he profiles some of the war's major and minor players, offering new ideas and concepts that challenge the current historical record. Through the eyes of historical figures, the Mexican-American war comes to life. Santa Anna describes his tumultuous experiences at the Alamo and the Battle of Buena Vista while General Zachary Taylor discusses the Battle of Resaca de la Palma in chilling detail. Lesser known individuals, such as naval officer Robert Field Stockton and ordinary soldier Lew Wallace, also lend their voices to this historic drama. Inventive and thoroughly researched, Mexico Redux provides an important addition to our understanding of the Mexican-American War.
