Title: one of the best books on the subject
Review: This book proves to be well written, well researched and quite readable even to a casual reader. The author present his material with certain level of clarity and insights that make this book a sure fire winner.Luckily, the author does not malingered over the political correctness of the war as we see it today. The Mexican War cost Mexico any chance she had in becoming a dominate power in North America. That role went to the United States for better or for worst. As an American, I would say, for the better!!The author also wrote with amazing sense of objectively regarding many of the major characters of the war, from Winfield Scott to Santa Anna.If there was one book to read on the subject, I would recommended this one.
