5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent overview of the Mexican War
Otis Singletary's The Mexican War is a concise and excellent overview of the war. Its greatest strength is the way it brings the personalities and personal conflicts to life. It provides great insight into the way politics intruded upon the prosecution of the war.

A Fair History
The book was fine as historical literature but not exactly exciting. Pretty straight forward. I have a better understanding of the war after reading this so I have to give it credit. I have many, many books on the Civil War that I've read over and over again. That's because the writing is terrific. This is not one I'd read again.

This review is from: The Mexican War (The Chicago History of American Civilization) (Paperback)
I had to review this book for a historical book review and it read like a breeze through the part describing the battles of the war. The political part after the war part was intresting but not as exciting as the former. This is a great read for fans of the Mexican War and even though of the Civil War.
