Title: Parallels to Iraq?
Review: The US government hypes up a war with a smaller, ill-governed country, for questionable purposes. The US wins, but it doesn't solve any of the ostensible problems that were cited as reasons for the war, and we get saddled with trying to administer a large, unruly, impoverished territory: in this case, Texas. Reading this book will make you want to go to war with Mexico again, just to make them take Texas back. Seriously, read this for a look at the events that formed many subsequent Civil War generals.
