Greenberg (history & women's studies, Pennsylvania State Univ.; "Manifest Manhood and the Antebellum American Empire") covers the Mexican War by focusing on the political controversies of the mid-19th century. Some readers may find the author's characterization of the war, and indeed her take on the motives and actions of many involved, President James K. Polk in particular, to be somewhat biased against the Anglos. Still, the account is well written and given an energetic reading by narrator Caroline Shaffer, who performs with great verve and expression and endows historical figures with appropriate and pleasantly done accents. In all this her clear voice is neither too dramatic nor overwrought. VERDICT Libraries wishing to fill out their collection of U.S. history of the mid-19th century should consider this title but should also carry other works concerning the conflict.--Michael T. Fein, Central Virginia Community Coll., Lynchburg
