Description

This book by a noted Ph.D. historian is likely one of the best books to be had about historical relations between america and Mexico. It shines new light on reasons for the USA invasion of Mexico in 1846, opposition by Abraham Lincoln and other politicians to the unjustified and unconstitutional decision by President Polk to go to war, the importance of the ensuing war against Mexico, the resulting territorial seizures by america, the have an effect on both nationally and internationally to both countries, the troubling legacy even today, and the results of silences which have been pervasive through the years regarding this conflict. It examines all aspects of this history based on actual documents in government, university, and private institutions in both the USA and Mexico, including citations to these documents and the complete text for lots of of them in the Appendix. The book covers more than two decades of US history, from 1846 to the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. As such, this outstanding book is a welcome addition to continuing discussion about the roles of america and Mexico right through two of the most controversial and complex periods in American history, and how decisions made then continue to permeate the daily lives of citizens and residents of both countries.
