With fewer than 10,000 soldiers pitted against a daunting adversary, Scott's bold operation to capture the massive Mexican capital--achieved after one major siege and four major battles--have continued to fascinate military strategists and romantics alike. Drawing on numerous and varied sources, this groundbreaking work highlights the autobiography of Lieutenant Raphael Semmes, who captained the USS \u003ci\u003eSomers\u003c\/i\u003e until she fell prey to a storm in the Gulf of Mexico. The book chronicles how this chapter of the Mexican-American War captured imaginations at home and in Mexico, and how a small but disciplined force persevered against all odds to divide and subdue a formidable enemy, thus shaping the destiny of a continent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47967158468759,"sku":"9781476698748","price":4596.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476698748.webp?v=1782913371","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/winfield-scott-and-the-march-to-mexico-city-analyzing-the-surprising-victory-of-1847-9781476698748","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
