Major General Winfield Scott, veteran of the War of 1812, and Captain Robert E. Lee, an engineer with no combat experience, lead the U.S. Army against Santa Anna in this historical novel about the Mexican-American War.
The author carries us back thirteen years before the Civil War, when that conflict's most familiar names are fighting for another cause. They are junior officers marching under the same flag in an unfamiliar land, experiencing combat for the first time in the Mexican-American War.
