A concise yet comprehensive social history of the MexicanAmerican War as it was experienced by the people of Mexico.The war that was fought between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848 was a major event in the history of both countries: it cost Mexico half of its national territory, opened western North America to US expansion, and magnified tensions that led to civil wars in both countries. Among generations of Latin Americans, it helped to cement the image of the United States as an arrogant, aggressive, and imperialist nation, poisoning relations between a young America and its southern neighbors.In contrast with many current books that treat the war as a fundamentally American experience, Timothy J. Hendersons A Glorious Defeat offers a fresh perspective on the Mexican side of the equation. Examining the manner in which Mexico gained independence, Henderson brings to light a greater understanding of that countrys intense factionalism and political paralysis leading up to and through the war.
