See all formats and editions

Fought for territory and not for ideals, the Mexican-American War was precipitated by the US annexation of Texas and ended with the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo (1848), by which Mexico ceded to the U.S. two fifths of its land, including California. This book covers not only the ferocious battles that marked the conflict but also the mixed feelings of Americans regarding the war.

It contains an almanac section, a biography section and a primary sources section.
