A few suggestions y'all

A good general history of the war is:

<i>So Far From God: the US War with Mexico</i> by John, S.D. Eisenhower
http://www.amazon.com/So-Far-God-Mexico ... 603&sr=8-2

I also have
<i>A Glorious Defeat: Mexico and it's War with the United States</i> by Timothy Henderson, which focuses more on the political side.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/002 ... ous+Defeat

More recent (recent enough I haven't read it yet)

<i>A Gallant Little Army: The Mexico City Campaign</i> by Timothy Johnson
http://www.amazon.com/Gallant-Little-Ar ... 782&sr=1-1

Then, I'd suggest a biography of Winfield Scott to boot. My two favorites are:

<i>Agent of Destiny: The Life and Times of General Winfield Scott</i> by John SD Eisenhower
http://www.amazon.com/Agent-Destiny-Tim ... 837&sr=1-1

and

<i>Winfield Scott and the Profession of Arms</i>by Allen Peskin

http://www.amazon.com/Winfield-Scott-Pr ... 837&sr=1-2

Can you tell I'm stoked for this game? [:I]
