From dust jacket: The first large-scale study in fifty years, The Mexican War. This new interpretation, based on original source material in the national archives, places the 1846-48 conflict with Mexico in its proper context. The Mexican War wan an unpopular one with the American citizenry. It was wavering and confused in its conduct, marked by bloody excesses, atrocities, guerilla engagements, and -- because of its divisive effects on pre-Civil War America -- was tragic in its aftermath. Our war with Mexico was, in the author's words, "the product of the conjunction of American and Mexican national aspirations brought together by the miscalculations of the leaders of both countries." President James K. Polk subscribed to imperialism -- and the path for America led inexorably west to the Pacific. What Polk and many other Americans failed utterly to realize was that our policy of aggrandizement meant loss of honor and dignity to the Mexicans. The military, political, and diplomatic aspects of the conflicts are skillfully integrated in Bauer's narrative. It describes the colorful military campaigns of Zachary Taylor, Winfield Scott, and Alexander Doniphan; the comic-opera conquest of California; the maneuverings of secret agents, both Mexican and American; the activities of the navy, whose deadliest foes were wind and fever; and the political infighting in Washington and Mexico City which, on occasion, could result in more casualties than those inflicted on the battlefield.
