"How We Robbed Mexico in 1848" by Robert H. Howe is a discussion of the Mexican-American War, exploring the reasons behind the United States' choice to invade Mexico. The book looks closely at the political greed and the idea of expanding the country that pushed the U.S. to take land from Mexico. Howe explains how the U.S. government used problems with Mexico as an excuse to start a war and take control of territories like Texas and California. Referencing historical records, Howe points out America's pattern of taking advantage of weaker countries for political or economic gain.
