Army of Manifest Destiny: The American Soldier in the Mexican War, 1846-1848

The day-to-day experiences of the American soldiers fighting in the Mexican War

James McCaffrey examines America's first foreign war, the Mexican War, through the day-to-day experiences of the American soldier in battle, in camp, and on the march. With remarkable sympathy, humor, and grace, the author fills in the historical gaps of one war while rising issues now found to be strikingly relevant to this nation's modern military concerns.
