San Juan Hill 1898

"Labelled a "splendid little war" by Senator John Hay, the Spanish American War was a peculiar yet pivotal event in America's history, provoked as much by the press as by political pressures. Here, aided by detailed maps and artwork, the author deals with the clashes at Las Guasimas and El Caney, the capture of San Juan Hill, and the naval battle and siege of Santiago. The war was to mark the end of Spanish sovereignty in the Americas and the establishment of the United States of America as a world power."--Jacket.
