Rather than treat the conflict with a form of historical amnesia, the contributors to this volume argue that the Mexican-American War was a formative experience for the more than three hundred future Civil War generals who served in it as lower-grade officers. The Mexican War was the first combat experience for many of them, a laboratory that equipped a generation of young officers with practical lessons in strategy, tactics, logistics, and interpersonal relationships that they would use later to command forces during the Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46416045768855,"sku":"9780807182383","price":4733.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780807182383.webp?v=1769061911","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-mexican-american-war-experiences-of-twelve-civil-war-generals-9780807182383","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
