5-0 out of 5 stars Superbly Written
I highly recommend this brief but superbly written synopsis of the Mexican War. Even though it is aimed at students, it does not talk down to the reader and really captures the events, political debates, protests, and ultimate outcome of the conflict. John Eisenhower's "So Far from God" and John Weems' "To Conquer a Peace" are good choices for those wanting a more in-depth look at the war, but for those shopping for a quicker, easier read, Nardo's book really fills the bill.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Well Done
A well written and kind of disturbing book about a war most Americans have pretty much forgotten.The author tells it like it is, or was to be more precise, without trying to gloss over the bad parts, for instance where Americans were lawbreakers, greedy, and sometimes warlike and brutal in their relations with the Mexicans.Those are the disturbing parts, because today we don't like to hear that our country can do things that we normally associate with guys like Saddam Hussain.But the story has to be told because it did happen and forgetting about the past is a big mistake, as some scholar once pointed out.For those who are unhappy about George W. Bush making it into the White House, I wonder what they would think of James K. Polk.They should read this book and find out what this guy did to make sure the country got its hands on Texas and California.

5-0 out of 5 stars Moving, Highly Informative Writing
Historian Don Nardo has written numerous excellent books for young people, mostly about ancient times.I have had the good fortune to use some of them in teaching my high school history classes.I was not aware until now, however, that he is equally versed in American history.Most people today do not remember the Mexican War.That is probably due in part to the fact that it was a shameful affair, in which the United States quite literally launched an essentially unprovoked military aggression against a neighboring country, mainly out of greed for land and deep-seated racial and ethnic bias.Though Nardo does not take sides, since he is writing for studnets and must remain impartial, he allows the facts to speak for themselves.And those facts nearly leap from the pages.Numerous passages from books, newspapers, and official documents of the times provide copious documentaion worthy of scholarly history books (although Nardo is always careful to keep the writing clear and easy to understand).It is difficult, after reading this superlative treatment of the war, and especially the events leading up to it, to think about Texas in the same way I used to.The way this country acquired it was and will always remain a stain on American honor.Nardo must be congratulated for a job exceedinly well done. ...

In The Days of the Vaqueros
5-0 out of 5 stars A Sucessful Young Adult Book
Russell Freedman's, "In the Days of the Vaqueros" was written for young adults and in this endeavor it suceeds.It is a 70 page hard back book with numerous high quality paintings, sketches and photographs.He tells the story of the Vaqueros from the arrival of the Spanish in Mexico up to modern days. When I purchased the book, I was hoping to find a book written for adults. Yet, I was not dissapointed.The book's production values are very high and I really enjoyed the art work. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A fine reference
High school to college-level students will find Handbook to Life in The Aztec World a fine reference, providing a thematic approach to the Aztec world which surveys geography, civilization development, Aztec arts and architecture, daily life, and customs and beliefs. Each chapter pairs an article with an extensive bibliography and the books also packs in over a hundred line drawings, photos and maps.
