Description
In 1898, US public opinion turned against the Spanish for their repression of Cuba. Relations between the two governments soured and ultimately resulted in the mysterious blowing up of the USS Maine in Havana harbour, which triggered a short but demanding war. Many famous US personalities were involved, including future President Theodore Roosevelt, future general John Pershing, and journalists William Randolph Hearst and Stephen Crane. The war against the Spanish may have been brief but as Henry Cabot Lodge declared: 'Its results were startling, and of world-wide meaning.' Victory made the US a nation with global interests. Providing a detailed examination of the experiences and equipment of the opposing sides, and featuring rare and previously unpublished photographs, this book highlights this crucial yet oft-forgotten war that changed the future of American foreign policy during 'the age of American imperialism.'

Media Reviews
Thanks to the excellent choice of photographs and the superb illustrations, we get an idea of how these men (and women) were dressed and outfitted. This all makes yet another great addition to the superb library of Osprey titles and one you can purchase with confidence. --Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com
Alejandro de Quesada's The Spanish-American War and Phillipine Insurrection outlines the uniforms and armies of the war which involved the U.S. in its first overseas battles. --California Bookwatch (December 2007)
