520    The bloody 1846-1848 war between the United States and 
       Mexico filled out the shape of the continental United 
       States, forcing Mexico to recognize its loss of Texas and 
       give up the rest of what became the Southwestern United 
       States. Generally people argue that the United States won 
       this war because unlike Mexico it was already a unified 
       nation that commanded the loyalty of its citizens. 
       Focusing on the vivid experiences of ordinary soldiers and
       civilians, both Americans and Mexicans, The Dead March 
       reveals something very different. The United States won 
       not because it was more unified but instead because it was
       much wealthier. Both Americans and Mexicans had 
       complicated relationships with their nations, 
       relationships entangled with their commitments to their 
       religions, their neighbors, and their families. The war's 
       events, both on the grand scale of the conflict between 
       nations and the more intimate scale of campaigns and 
       battles, cannot be understood without probing this social 
       and cultural history. Politicians could not simply conjure
       up armies, and generals could not manipulate units as if 
       their members were chess pieces without ideas or 
       attitudes. This book also uses the war to compare the two 
       countries as they existed in 1846. The results of this 
       comparison are quite startling. The United States and 
       Mexico were much more alike than they were different, and 
       both nations were still in the tumultuous and often 
       violent process of constituting themselves. What separated
       them was not some fabled American unity or democracy but 
       the very real economic advantages of the United States.--
