Little known facts I did not know before. Wonderful book.
Exactly what it was supposed to be, a brief outline of the Mexican-American war. Dealt with most all of the crucial facts of the war. Did not deal with our treaty with Mexico at the end of the war. Overall exactly what I wanted.
Interesting information about the insurgency during and the Mexican War and the occupation after the war
