Synopsis

History comes to life as this photographic collection shows what the Spanish American War was really like. The authors have combined rare photographs and illustrations with authoritative text and maps to present a comprehensive documentary portrait of the momentous clash of arms. Here are the stories of the controversial and tragic sinking of the Maine, the stirring U.S. victories at Manila Bay and San Juan Hill; the bloody siege of Santiago, and all the colorful players of this American epic, including Theodore Roosevelt and Rough Riders, Commodore George Dewey, and opinion-manipulator William Randolph Hearst. The Spanish American War is the definitive pictorial record of the war that brought the United States onto the world's stage and into the twentieth century.
