This is on Netflix now. I am watching it at the moment. I am not sure of the accuracy since I don't know much about the maximillian war. I was looking for books on Amazon, but couldn't find a single one. Any suggestions? |

The captions make it seem a bit hokey. |

It could be good, it might not. The actual battle saw Mexicans holding fortified convents against French attacks. Meanwhile I spotted the trailer for an upcoming Australian WWI flick YouTube link |

To historians this conflict is 'the Mexican Adventure' or 'the French Intervention in Mexico'. There's no such conflict as 'the Maximillian War', a spurious title applied only by wargamers. Maximillian is a name, not an adjective like Brazillian. Now that I've got that off my chest, I'll return to my book about 'the Hitler War'. |
