Book Review: A Glorious Defeat: Mexico and Its War with the United States

I really enjoyed Timothy Henderson's book on the Mexico-U.S. war. I felt that he did a very good job comparing and contrasting the American and Mexican's societies and cultures and the difficulties each one faced on the eve of battle. It really opened my eyes to Mexico's caste system and how huge the chasm was between the haves and have nots. Very enlightening read and it moves quickly considering the subject.
