Replete with larger-than-life characters, the American adventure in
Cuba, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands in 1898 was a watershed in
the United States' rise to world power. In this superbly written
narrative of what we now call the Spanish-American War, Walter
Millis analyzes its causes and the motives of the time's leading
spirits-Teddy Roosevelt, Hearst, Pulitzer, Dewey, Lodge, Hay, and
others-and recounts the ironies and grotesqueries of the conflict.
"A notable contribution to the study of American history and of
American character."-Henry Steele Commager. "Mr. Millis writes
every page well."-New York Times. "A mature, intelligent, and
exciting work-a rare occurrence in historical writing...A complete
history of the American people at war which is so well contrived
and so wittily written that it puts to shame both the efforts of
professional historians and the products of those writers who
merely seek to amuse without intending to inform."-The Nation.
