The Mexican War 1846-1848

The Mexican War 1846-1848 by K Jack Bauer, Macmillan Publishing Company 1974 First Printing, Hardback with Dust Jacket.

“This volume tells the story of the Mexican-American War, an armed conflict between the United States of America and the United Mexican States from 1846 to 1848 in the wake of the 1845 U.S. annexation of Texas, which Mexico considered part of its territory despite the 1836 Texas Revolution. 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.” From Google Books
