Description

Often forgotten and overpassed, the U.S.-Mexican War featured false starts, atrocities, and daring back-channel negotiations because it divided the nation, cleared the path for the Civil War a generation later, and launched the career of Abraham Lincoln. Amy S. Greenberg’s skilled storytelling and rigorous scholarship bring this American war for empire to life with memorable characters, plotlines, and legacies.

This definitive history of the 1846 conflict paints an intimate portrait of the foremost players and their world. This is a story of Indian fights, Manifest Destiny, secret military maneuvers, gunshot wounds, and political spin. Along how it captures a young Lincoln mismatching his clothes, the lasting influence of the Founding Fathers, the birth of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and The united states’s first national antiwar movement. A key chapter within the creation of america, it’s the story of a burgeoning nation and an unforgettable conflict that has shaped American history.
