The war with Mexico was the one of the most decisive conflicts in
American history. After smashing Mexico's armies the young republic
bestrode the North American continent like a colossus with one leg
anchored on the Atlantic seaboard and the other on the Pacific. It
was a bitter, hard fought war that raged across Mexico through the
northern deserts, the fever-ridden Gulf cities and the balmy
haciendas of California. This book covers the full course of the
war, ending with General Winfield Scott's march from the captured
port of Vera Cruz to Mexico City, fighting all the way.
