Before the tragedy of the Civil War tore the United States in
two, America was involved in another war, one that has not received
nearly the attention it deserves. In fact, the Mexican-American
War, 1846-1848, could arguably be called the training ground for
the Civil War a little over a decade later.
Author Phillip K. Rose turns the spotlight on this important
historical event in American history in Mexico Redux. Rose digs
into the heart of this conflict and calls it the most significant
war in American history. Through an eclectic mix of fact and
fiction, he profiles some of the war's major and minor players,
offering new ideas and concepts that challenge the current
historical record.
Through the eyes of historical figures, the Mexican-American war
comes to life. Santa Anna describes his tumultuous experiences at
the Alamo and the Battle of Buena Vista while General Zachary
Taylor discusses the Battle of Resaca de la Palma in chilling
detail. Lesser known individuals, such as naval officer Robert
Field Stockton and ordinary soldier Lew Wallace, also lend their
voices to this historic drama.
Inventive and thoroughly researched, Mexico Redux provides an
important addition to our understanding of the Mexican-American
War.
