The United States and Mexico at war Book

The U.S. Mexico War resulted in the annexation of nearly half of Mexico's territory -- an area that includes the present-day states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah, as well as parts of Oklahoma and Wyoming. This new one-volume reference provides a balanced view of an aggressive chapter in U.S. westward expansion, with scholars from both the United States and Mexico contributing. The book is interdisciplinary, examining not only the battles, strategies and personalities on both sides of the conflict, but its effects on the culture as a whole. Supporting the text are many illustrations, including maps and unique period daguerreotypes never before published, and an appendix of primary documents.
