 I recommend the book Maximilian & Juarez by Jasper Ridley if you're curious about Mexico.  There are many similarities between that expedition and Iraq.

I also think the French did much better during the Franco-Prussian War than they are typically given credit for.  Many of those battles were close run affairs with the Germans relying more on pure weight of numbers than tactical prowess.
