In subsequent years and continuing to the present, its citizens have often taken up arms beyond its borders in pursuit of political values and national defense. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough historians have studied the role of the state and its people in war for well over a century, a wealth of topics remain that deserve greater attention: Tejanos in World War II, the common Texas soldier's interaction with foreign enemies, the perception of Texas warriors throughout the world, the role of religion among Texans who fight or contemplate fighting, controversial paramilitary groups in Texas, the role and effects of Texans' ethnicity, culture, and gender during wartime, to name a few. In \u003ci\u003eTexans at War\u003c\/i\u003e, fourteen scholars provide new studies, perspectives, and historiographies to extend the understanding of this important field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the largest collections of original scholarship on this topic to date, \u003ci\u003eTexans and War\u003c\/i\u003e will stimulate useful conversation and research among historians, students, and interested general readers. In addition, the breadth and originality of its contributions provide a solid overview of emerging perspectives on the military history and historiography of Texas and the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/b\u003e List of Illustrations ixAcknowledgments xiIntroduction 1\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexander Mendoza and Charles David Grear\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART I. \u003c\/b\u003eTexans Fighting through Time: Thematic Topics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
