The California Campaigns of the U.S.-Mexican War, 1846-1848

The real prize of the war was California. For the Mexican government to go to war against its more powerful northern neighbor was an act of folly. The Californios themselves had only ambiguous loyalties to the central government and only the most minimal military capabilities....

ISBN: 9780786496334 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Generations ago, immigrants came to the U.S. from Europe and Africa in large numbers.
