U.S.-Mexican War (1998)
U.S.-Mexican War (1998) Highly admirable American-Mexican four-hour video describing both sides of this war, its prelude, and its aftermath. Perceptive insights into how tumultuous domestic politics affected Mexican responses to American Manifest Destinyism. Santa Anna emerges quite well and Robert E. Lee played a vital role in America's touch-and-go military campaign. Read John Eisenhower's So Far From God: The U.S. War With Mexico 1846-1848 for additional military insights and Irving Stone's Men to Match My Mountains for the bizarre story of Fremont and Kearny's California escapades.
