U.S.-Mexican War

Christopher Conway is Associate Professor of Spanish, The University of Texas at Arlington.Gustavo Pellonis Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature at the University of Virginia.

Conway's judicious selection of primary sources--some fundamental, others lesser-known--affords readers valuable insight into a conflict that does not hold a prominent place in the United States' collective imagination. Especially note­worthy are Conway's efforts to fully portray the Mexican experience in the war through an examination of military operations, political affairs, daily life, gender, and popular culture. --Pedro Santoni, California State University, San Bernardino
