About this product

Product Information

Our 1846 war with Mexico was a blatant land grab provoked by President James Polk. And while it secured the entire Southwest and California for America, it also exacerbated regional tensions over slavery, created the first significant antiwar movement in America, and helped lead the nation into civil war. A Wicked War is the definitive history of this conflict that turned America into a continental power. Amy Greenberg describes the battles between American and Mexican armies, but also delineates the political battles between Democrats and Whigs--the former led by the ruthless Polk, the latter by the charismatic Henry Clay, and a young representative from Illinois named Abraham Lincoln, who initially drew national attention as a critic of the war. Greenberg brilliantly recounts this key chapter in the creation of the United States, evoking time, place, event, and personality with equal parts authority and narrative flair.

Polk's expansionist doctrine of 'Manifest Destiny' and the more domestically focused beliefs of Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln and the Whigs." -- Shelf Awareness, "A fascinating glimpse into the history of the United States' invasion of Mexico, revealing the conflict between James K. Polk's expansionist doctrine of 'Manifest Destiny' and the more domestically focused beliefs of Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln and the Whigs." - Shelf Awareness, "An excellent study of how the war was won on the battlefield and lost in public opinion.
