The Year of Decision, 1846 is a historical book written by Bernard DeVoto. It chronicles the events that took place in the United States in the year 1846, a pivotal year in American history. The book starts with the annexation of Texas by the United States, which led to a war with Mexico.

He examines how these events impacted the nation and contributed to the shaping of American society and politics.
