Description
"It began as a border dispute, but soon escalated into a 16-month conflict that transformed a continent. The [film] tells the exciting and dramatic story of a war that cost Mexico nearly half its territory -- the present Southwest from Texas to California. This critically acclaimed documentary series, the first to study both sides of the conflict, presents a historical panorama filled with unforgettable characters like Mexican president Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, General Zachary Taylor, and Winfield Scott. Relive their grand ideas and the passion of a conflict that changed the shape of nations and left a legacy that endures today"--Container.
