Army
of Manifest Destiny: The American Soldier in the Mexican War, 1846-1848
(The American Social Experience)
by James M. McCaffrey
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.

War
of a Thousand Deserts: Indian Raids and the U.S.-Mexican War (The Lamar
Series in Western History)
by Brian DeLay
In the early 1830s, after decades of relative peace, northern Mexicans
and the Indians whom they called “the barbarians” descended into a terrifying
cycle of violence. For the next fifteen years, owing in part to changes
unleashed by American expansion, Indian warriors launched devastating attacks
across ten Mexican states. Raids and counter-raids claimed thousands of
lives, ruined much of northern Mexico’s economy, depopulated its countryside,
and left man-made “deserts” in place of thriving settlements. Just as important,
this vast interethnic war informed and emboldened U.S. arguments in favor
of seizing Mexican territory while leaving northern Mexicans too divided,
exhausted, and distracted to resist the American invasion and subsequent
occupation.
Exploring Mexican, American, and Indian sources ranging from diplomatic
correspondence and congressional debates to captivity narratives and plains
Indians’ pictorial calendars, War of a Thousand Deserts recovers the surprising
and previously unrecognized ways in which economic, cultural, and political
developments within native communities affected nineteenth-century nation-states.
In the process this ambitious book offers a rich and often harrowing new
narrative of the era when the United States seized half of Mexico’s national
territory.
