The Mexican War, 1846-1848

K. Jack Bauer ; introduction to the Bison Book edition by Robert W. Johannsen

'Much has been written about the Mexican war, but this ...is the best military history of that conflict...Leading personalities, civilian and military, Mexican and American, are given incisive and fair evaluations. The coming of war is seen as unavoidable, given American expansion and Mexican resistance to loss of territory, compounded by the fact that neither side understood the other. The events that led to war are described with reference to military strengths and weaknesses, and every military campaign and engagement is explained in clear detail and illustrated with good maps.Problems of large numbers of untrained volunteers, discipline and desertion, logistics, diseases and sanitation, relations with Mexican civilians in occupied territory, and Mexican guerrilla operations are all explained, as are the negotiations which led to war's end and the Mexican cession...This is an outstanding contribution to military history and a model of writing which will be admired and emulated' - "Journal of American History". K. Jack Bauer was also the author of "Zachary Taylor: Soldier, Planter, Statesman of the Old Southwest" (1985) and Other Works. Robert W. Johannsen, who introduces this Bison Books edition of "The Mexican War", is a professor of history at the University of Illinois, Urbana, and the author of "To the Halls of Montezumas: The Mexican War in the American Imagination" (1985).
