"On March 9, 1916, troops under the command of Pancho Villa attacked Columbus, New Mexico and its local detachment of the US 13th Cavalry Regiment, killing 18 people and burning the town. Six days later, General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing led an expeditionary force of 4,800 men into Mexico to capture Villa. What followed was a series of skirmishes, battles, and chases through the wild Mexican countryside. This Punitive Expedition saw the US military deploy motor cars for the first time, and also marked the first combat experience of a young Lieutenant George S. Patton. This book charts the progress of the entire enterprise, covering the dusty marches and the biter gunfights in the streets of small border towns, analyzing the successes and failures of this unique military expedition."
