Winner of the BoltonJohnson PrizeWinner of the Utley PrizeWinner of the Distinguished Book Award, Society for Military HistoryThe Dead March incorporates the work of Mexican historiansin a story that involves far more than military strategy, diplomatic maneuvering, and American political intrigueStudded with arresting insights and convincing observations.James Oakes, New York Review of BooksSuperbA remarkable achievement, by far the best general account of the war now available. It is critical, insightful, and rooted in a wealth of archival sources; it brings far more of the Mexican experience than any other workand it clearly demonstrates the social and cultural dynamics that shaped Mexican and American politics and military force.Journal of American HistoryIt has long been held that the United States emerged victorious from the MexicanAmerican War because its democratic system was more stable and its citizens more loyal. But this awardwinning history shows that Americans dramatically underestimated the strength of Mexican patriotism and failed to see how bitterly Mexicans resented their claims to national and racial superiority. Their fierce resistance surprised US leaders, who had expected a quick victory with few casualties.By focusing on how ordinary soldiers and civilians in both countries understood and experienced the conflict, The Dead March offers a clearer picture of the brief, bloody war that redrew the map of North America.
