Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 502 pages, b&w illustrations. “Superb…A remarkable achievement, by far the best general account of the war now available.

Harvard, 2017. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. Clean unmarked pages, firm binding; slight creasing to jacket edges. The Dead March builds a wonderful, sustained case for the deep similarities between the two countries, their struggles, and the circumstances of their fighting men. The material on both armies is superb. We are given marvelously lucid, textured, and probing explanations for why and how men came to serve in these armies; how they were viewed by their countrymen and women; what they experienced on march and in camp. The narrative of particular battles and confrontations is engrossing and illuminating. And the military history is surrounded by smart, compelling, analytic sections on a host of important topics. This book sets the new standard for histories of the war that cost Mexico half its national territory.--Brian DeLay, author of War of a Thousand Deserts: Indian Raids and the U.S.-Mexican War 288 pages.
