Vicente Filisola was second in command of the Mexican army in Texas during the Revolution. After the defeat of Gen. Jos  L pez de Santa Anna by Sam Houston's Texans at San Jacinto, Filisola became commander-in-chief of the four thousand Mexican soldiers that remained in Texas. The Mexican army eventually retreated to Matamoros, Mexico, and Filisola became the scapegoat for all that went wrong in the campaign in Texas. His chief accuser in this disastrous action was Gen. Jos  Cosme Urrea, commander of one of the Mexican divisions in the campaign. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After reading this fascinating account of the Mexican army in Texas, readers may well need to reevaluate their opinions of the Mexican army's generals. In spite of the fact that the work is obviously biased and at times blatantly unfair, \u003ci\u003eFilisola makes valid points that will make one wonder if Urrea deserves the high respect that has been generally accorded him by Texan scholars. \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregg Dimmick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0876112394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780876112397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas State Historical Assn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Gregg Dimmick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46738989940991,"sku":"9780876112397","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ee43f0f-c0bf-492b-977b-3690cd6400c8.jpg?v=1743276878","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/general-vicente-filisolas-analysis-of-gregg-dimmick-9780876112397","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
