A dear friend of recently ordered Reid's newest title in the Osprey series for me, Queen Victoria's Highlanders. It just arrived in the post today, and from what I've seen by flipping through it, it looks very good!

The Secret War for Texas is a hardback, BTW, unlike Reid's softcover illustrated histories. The key to appreciating his Osprey books is to pay attention to Reid's written descriptions of dress and uniform, which do not always match the illustrator's depictions.
