It's useful for the wargamer, or if you just need a quick peek inside this little known conflict. There is information about organization of the armies, units, arms, and even a quickie order of battle. The plates are nice. Thankfully, both armies were pretty uniform, and the accompanying print information provides descriptions of those unit types not illustrated. Like many Ospreys, this book tries to cram a little too much into its 40 pages, so information is a bit sketchy at times--dinged half a star. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

'There never was so fine an American army,' wrote second-lieutenant, John Sedgwick, in describing the troops under Major-General Zachary Taylor in 1846. Another then second-lieutenant, destined to see many more armies; U.S. Grant, also thought highly of them: 'The rank and file were probably inferior ... to the volunteers that participated in all the later battles of the war; but they were brave men, and then drill and discipline brought out all there was in them.' Philip Katcher writesthe story of the regulars and volunteers who fought in the Mexican-American War, detailing the infantry, cavalry, artillery and staff of both the American and Mexican armies.
