The Mexican-American War was a crucial conflict for the emerging United States, establishing control over both Texas and California from its southern neighbour, and creating an army that would later face a greater test in the American Civil War. Many of the greatest commanders of the Civil War - including Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee - served on the same side in the war against Mexico. From the Battle of Buena Vista to the capture of Mexico City, this book is a detailed study of both armies, and includes unpublished pictures from both American and Mexican archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis copy is in \u003cstrong\u003eGood \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003econdition.
