摘要:Volumen II - 2002 ISSN 1870-4654 TRES LIBROS SOBRE LA GUERRA ESTADOS UNIDOS DE AMÉRICA-MÉXICO On February 2, 2001 it was the 153th anniversary of the celebration of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which ended the war between the United States and Mexico, whereby Mexico ceded 51% of national territory. Even when there is wide bibliography on the topic, the history of the matter is not widely known. Perhaps because this has been one of the most frustrating episodes in national history, the memories of that time have remained only in legends. That is why the International Law Department in the Legal Research Institute convoked the community to make an analysis of three main works: Diary of president Polk (1845-1849) (James K. Polk), who declared war on Mexico; Notes on the war Mexico-United States , written in 1848 by a group of politicians who witnessed the conflict; and In Defence of the Country a memory of the 150th anniversary of the conflict, published by the National General Archive, and edited by Patricia Galeana. The next three book reviews depict the events of the war from 1846 to 1848. * Nota: Debido que la traducción es automática podrá ser inexacta o contener errores.
