Politics of War - The Story of Two Wars Which Altered Forever the Political Life of the American Republic (Paperback, 1st Franklin Square Press ed)

President William McKinley's image is thought of as a weak, ineffectual man who did not want to get involved in a war with Spain but was forced into it by events beyond his control. The truth--as laid out in Walter Karp's The Politics of War--is quite different. The Spanish-American War--or, more rightly, Massacre or Rout was a manufactured crisis. The parallels are inescapable. War is led by the rich and powerful often against the wishes of the public. While the war strengthened the System for the moment, public hostility to the political and economic status quo began to rise against the ruling parties. What followed was one of the bloodiest centuries mankind has seen. We can only hope that history does not repeat itself.
