Instead, scholars have focused primarily on military strategy and campaigns. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"North American historiography,\" claims El Colegio de M xico historian Josefina Zoraida V zquez, \"has elucidated all aspects of the war: battles, strategy, weapons, casualties, desertions, background of the soldiers, finances, and regional variations. Mexican scholars, until recently, have preferred not only to avoid the war, but also the thankless period of national life that proceeds from independence to the end of the conflict.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDueling Eagles\u003c\/i\u003e brings together essays by respected American and Mexican scholars to reveal unparalleled views of the war, including the influence of Great Britain, the role of the first war correspondents and how their dispatches were perceived in Mexico and America, and the reasons for the collaboration by many Mexicans with United States troops. The portrayals of the two countries' viewpoints create a better understanding of the war's significance, not only on each nation's history but also on the international relationship that remains despite the demarcation of the greatly disputed U.S.-Mexican border.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Francaviglia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Christian University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.01w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780875652320","brand":"Texas Christian University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41111302078579,"sku":"9.78088E+12","price":22.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_517e249a-1416-4ade-9f80-6a044d923567.jpg?v=1700573171","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/dueling-eagles-reinterpreting-the-mexican-us-war-1846-1848-9780875652320","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
