En esta primera parte de sus memorias, Ulysses S. Grant relata su experiencia como joven teniente en la guerra entre México y Estados Unidos (1846-1848), desde su formación en West Point hasta la ocupación de la Ciudad de México.Con sobriedad y una sorprendente franqueza, describe batallas emblemáticas como Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterrey, Cerro Gordo y Chapultepec, así como la vida en campaña, las tensiones políticas y la complejidad moral de un conflicto que él mismo calificó como 'una de las más injustas jamás libradas por un pueblo más fuerte contra uno más débil'.Además de ser un testimonio militar y personal de primera mano, estas páginas ofrecen una mirada extranjera -crítica, a veces incómoda- sobre el México del siglo XIX: su territorio, su ejército, sus divisiones internas y su resistencia ante la invasión.Un documento invaluable sobre el nacimiento de un líder y los dilemas morales de una nación en expansión.Incluye notas complementarias y cronología.
