Just about half-way through Eisenhower's "So Far From God: The U. S. War With Mexico, 1846–1848." [View all]

It's a good read, so far, with more attention to the military rather than the political equation.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a study of the war that looks at it primarily from the Mexican perspective?

I've read Zinn's chapter in Peoples History of the United States, as well as DeVoto's The Year of Decision 1846, and Silbey's Storm over Texas: The Annexation Controversy and the Road to Civil War (which offers an excellent view of the American political side of the early territorial conflict with Mexico.)

I'm now looking for something specifically addressing the Mexican, or secondarily British, perspective on the war, both military and political.

It also has to be in English, as I don't read Spanish.

Anyone?
