Few have been fought - much less won in some three months' time - by a nation that exhibited such intrepid self-confidence and peculiar ineptitude in planning and executing its military-naval operations. And few have so firmly set the victor on the road to emergence as a world power. In lively and sophisticated style, Jack Cameron Dierks sets the stage, opens the curtain on an astonishingly diverse cast of characters, and re-creates that "splendid little war" in the Caribbean which had repercussions felt around the globe for decades. Mr. Dierks examines the growing wealth, exuberance, and awareness that led the United States into an increasing identification with the philosophy of imperialism and, eventually, war. In the final act, he shows her awakening to her expansionist role in the twentieth century as she applies lessons well learned in Santiago Harbor, on San Juan Hill, and at home." - from the inner front jacket flap.
