A Spur Award-winning Author

1845. Texas joins the union. Mexico threatens war over the disputed Texas border. More than the Rio Grande Valley is at stake: expansionists dream of America reaching all the way to the Pacific Coast. Can a conflict with an already war-torn Mexico satisfy this lust for territory When President James K. Polk sends troops the Texas border^ the ensuing Mexican-American War becomes the heroic proving ground for future Civil War generals and presidents of the United States^ Mexico and the Confederacy. But the glories of victory are tempered by the horrors of war as two very different cultures clash in an epic adventure of duty^ patriotism and courage to the death.
