Synopsis

This book analyzes the Mexican-American War through the perspective of its combatants as well as the soldiers who reported on it for their home-town newspapers. From 1846 onward, the Mexican-American War was heavily reported on in the United States, with newspapers across the nation reporting the war in great detail. The author examines how this reporting shaped public opinion and directly impacted the war's course. The book also explores the broader cultural and political context of the war, arguing that it was a watershed moment in American history, as well as a first exposure to a strange and ancient land for many Americans.
