About This Item
Chicago: University of Chicago Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1960. First Edition. Later Printing. Soft Cover. 0226760618 . Publisher's glossy wraps. Otis Singletary's concise, dramatic account of the war that won the Southwest and California for the United States is designed to evoke in modern readers a fresh appreciation of one of the most colorful but neglected episodes in American military affairsand certainly one of the most significant. Victory in this "military exercise" turned our attention to the Far West, made possible the Gold Rush of '49, and brought vast new territories and new peoples into the Unionaltering the face of the nation and greatly influencing its future course. Mr. Singletary treats the military, political, economic, and diplomatic aspects of the war. He focuses on the ways in which the Mexican War exemplified the dynamic spirit of Manifest Destiny and was a microcosm of peculiarly Americanand peculiarly democraticproblems of waging war. "All in all, this is the best short account of the Mexican War yet written."T. Harry Williams, The Journal of Modern History . VERY GOOD.. The Chicago History of American Civilization Series. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. xiii,183 pp .
