For Honor, Country, and God: Los Nis H駻oes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781387349715)

For the first time, this ground-breaking book tells the full story of the stirring role played by Mexico's young cadets, Los Nis H駻oes, at Chapultepec on September 13, 1847. Phillip Thomas Tucker, Ph.D., is the first American author to present a book in English about these cadets, separating fact from fiction to present a more accurate view of the desperate defense of Chapultepec and the Military College during the Mexican-American War. This book presents the dramatic true story of the cadets in all its tragedy and glory, when Mexico's existence was at stake. No sacrifice was more memorable or inspirational in this unjust war than that of the six teenage cadets. But, this book is about more than the sacrifice of these students. This is also the story of the heroic struggle of a young republic attempting to survive the unstoppable invasion of a neighboring country, the U.S.A. At Chapultepec, the cadets fought with great courage and died for honor, country, and God, so that Mexico would survive.
