I'm at home now, and I took a glance at my little library and found that I also have three others that I used for the Mexican War course I took (it was about 10 years ago) .. they are "Army of Manifest Destiny" by James M. McCaffrey, "The Story of the Mexican War" by Robert Seth Henry, and "The Mexican War, 1846-1848" by K. Jack Bauer .. all five books are reviewed (and available) at amazon.com if you want to take a look ..I really enjoyed that course, I took it as an elective in my Civil War Studies program, I was able to learn more about quite a few personalities that I had "met" over the years in my CW studies, plus it was an interesting glimpse of antebellum America .. and of course it helped fuel the fires that eventually led to civil war ..

Thanks Tom - I decided to try out "So Far From God" by Eisenhower. I 
very much appreciate the time you took to recommend books on this subject!
