À propos de cet audio

A Wicked War presents the definitive history of the 1846 war between the United States and Mexico - a conflict that turned America into a continental power. Amy Greenberg describes the battles between American and Mexican armies, but also delineates the political battles between Democrats and Whigs - the former led by the ruthless Polk, the latter by the charismatic Henry Clay and a young representative from Illinois named Abraham Lincoln. Greenberg brilliantly recounts this key chapter in the creation of the United States with authority and narrative flair.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Greenberg’s probing account of this war reveals its drama - and its very modern complexity.”( Publishers Weekly)

Great introduction to the Mexican-American War from the perspective of the United States. The author does make mention of the Mexican side, and adds some Mexican primary sources, but it's largely about the U.S and how the U.S coped with waging an aggressive war on a weaker neighbour. This book, however, might be an uncomfortable read for anyone who's more committed to national myths of righteousness than with scholarship.

Very good introduction to the Mexican-American War
