2016 marked the 170th anniversary of the year the United States invaded Mexico and declared war on its neighboring Republic. This new book by a noted Ph.D. historian and professor is one of the best books available about relations between the United States and Mexico before, during, and after that war. It shines new light on reasons for the US invasion, opposition by Abraham Lincoln and other politicians to the unjustified and unconstitutional decision by President Polk to unilaterally initiate the war, the importance of the ensuing war against Mexico, the resulting territorial seizures by the United States, the impact both nationally and internationally to both countries, the troubling legacy even today, and the result of silences that have been pervasive over the years regarding this conflict. It examines all aspects of this history based on actual documents in government, university, and private institutions in both the US and Mexico, including citations to these documents and the complete text for many of them in the Appendix. The book covers more than two decades of US history, from 1846 to the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, and examines Lincoln's role in helping Mexico defeat French occupation forces in the 1860s. As such, this outstanding book is a welcome addition to continuing discussion about the roles of the United States and Mexico during two of the most controversial and complex periods in American history, and how decisions made then continue to permeate the daily lives of citizens and residents of both countries.

Abraham Lincoln and Mexico: A History of Courage, Intrigue and Unlikely Friendships Having lived in Mexico for the past twelve years, and having read a half-dozen or so books, I considered myself to be well enough informed regarding the history of USA/Mexico relations. However, having just finished reading what Professor Michael Hogan has gifted us with, I find myself somewhat humbled, and thoroughly enlightened.Abraham Lincoln and Mexico is an expertly researched and written piece of work, exposing the pure character and political talents of Abraham Lincoln, and how Lincoln and others, including Philip Sheridan and Ulysses Grant, played there part in lending some dignity into the USA’s evasive expansion into Mexico during the nineteenth century.While the two giants, Abraham Lincoln who was six foot four, and Benito Juarez who oddly enough was four foot six, never met in person - and if they had, wouldn’t that have made an interesting photo opportunity - we learn that they were able to build a strong working relationship through Juarez’s charming, inventive Charge d’Affaires to Washington, Matias Romero.With more than ample evidence (included within the expansive documentation at the end of the book), Hogan makes the reader realise the grave injustice of the paltry compensation of $12 million dollars for more than half of what was then Mexico’s total land mass. Among many other injustices, we learn how the news of the discovery of gold on Mexican soil in what is now California was kept secret from the settlement terms, and how within a few years after the settlement, more than $300 million dollars of gold was mined.The book’s publication is very timely. Many of us, for far too long, have been misled by the absence of these facts. If there is any justice, and I believe there is, one would hope that how the USA citizenry relate to Mexico and its citizens, will be dramatically altered once these new facts are disseminated and fully understood.On a lighter note, Professor Hogan, while effectively shining a bright light into the dark shadows of USA/Mexico selective history, has left me with one annoying, curious question - if, as Hogan cites, Abraham Lincoln is one of the three most popular USA Presidents in Mexico, who are the other two, and why? I bet Professor Hogan will be able to respond – I look forward to hearing from him.NOW . . . GO OUT AND BUY THIS BOOK . . . IT’S A MUST READ!
