A people's history of New Mexico.-- Written through the lens of annexation, John Ross traces an unbroken band of conquest through the centuries and shows how World War II, the Cold War, and now the Drug War have bound Mexico tightly as a U.S. client state.-- More than mere history, you will meet many colorful characters including Thomas Jefferson, who stated Our confederation must be viewed as the nest from which all America north and south peopled; Ronald Reagan, whose administration secretly dreamed of buying the Baja California for $105 billion and Clinton, not the president but a child by that name living in Chiapas.-- Ross concludes by focusing on the immigration issue, inviting us to enjoy this reverse annexation.
