From its beginnings, America has acted out a lot of its background on the battlefront. Yet for the common American, little is well known of the Spanish-American Warfare. The reasons for our admittance never looked like compelling--at times, yellowish fever looked like more the enemy than performed Spanish troops--and america was ill ready for the business. Nevertheless, this discord dished up to unify a country that only thirty years before have been hopelessly divided by civil strife.
This bright colored account shows how every aspect of American life was finally touched by the warfare. Warfare heroes abounded in the Spanish-American Warfare: George Dewey, Richmond Pearson Hobson, Joe Wheeler, William T. Sampson, and of course, Teddy Roosevelt and his Harsh Riders. Rosenfeld attacks a balance between scholarly and popular writing, taking to life a warfare that has often been forgotten.
