In the introduction, Archibald Hanna places the Mexican War in its proper historiographical context. Hanna makes it clear that Mexican and U.S. scholars have generally neglected the episode although newer works have assessed its causes and consequences more comprehensively. Wayne Cutler then presents an elegant account of President Polk's wartime tour of New England, outlining the president's motives in light of New England's opposition to the war and at the same time providing the reader a wonderful view of contemporary life. Miguel E. Soto includes a highly informative study of monarchist intrigues during the war, giving much~needed insight into the Mexican side of the war and particularly the role of Spain and of Mariano Paredes. John S. D. Eisenhower approaches the Mexican War by comparing it disfavorably with World War II and other engagements; his description of the disharmony between Polk and his generals, Taylor and Scott, illustrates weakness in policy formation as well as unbelievable egotism on the part of the president. Finally, Douglas W. Richmond provides an insight into the life of a soldier in the war by including selections from the letters of Andrew Trussell, a Mississippi volunteer. Trussell's complaints of homesickness are typical, but his curiosity about Mexico and his ability to write about his experiences are not. The Mexican War was devastating to Mexico's confidence in its national institutions, and in the United States the war was not completely popular and has today produced something resembling collective guilt. Even today the war remains as an immediate barrier toward completely friendly relations between the two countries. Perhaps this collection of essays will help to heal the wounds that have festered for more than a hundred years.…
