Summary: An absorbing and informative survey of military tactics
Comment: Climax At Buena Vista: The Decisive Battle Of The Mexican-American War by western historian and author David Lavender is a solidly researched military history and descriptive accounting of the decisive territory battle that took place between the United States and Mexico in 1847. General Zachary Taylor and roughly 4,500 American army regulars battled General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna with a force of 20,000 Mexican soldiers. Superb maneuvering and regrouping tactics caused what should have been a rout of the American troops by the Mexican forces, into military battlefield draw, and which would ultimately compelled Mexico to sue for peace. An absorbing and informative survey of military tactics, combined with a compelling narrative of the dynamics and relative morality of a war that was ultimately an American grab for more land, Climax At Buena Vista reveals the enduring impact the conflict had on subsequent Mexican and American histories.
