Description

We all have read about the Rough Riders' gallant charge up San Juan Hill, but the reality is quite different. It was in fact Teddy Roosevelt and Kettle Hill, and the enormous casualties suffered would likely cost Colonel Roosevelt his command today. This reference work allows readers to easily check out the facts and myths of the conflict that propelled the United States onto the world stage as an international and colonial power with the acquisition of the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam. The encyclopedia includes: details on all the campaigns and principla battles of the extended conflict; capsule biographies of key military and political figures of the United States, Spain, Cuba and the Philippines; revelation of the crucial role played by the yellow press in the US to manipulate public opinion; and an unravelling of the complex political maneuvering by both sides during the Paris peace negotiations.
