America's Great Patriotic War With Spain: Mixed Motives, Lies, and Racism in Cuba and the Philippines, 1898-1915

With the centennial of this fascinating conflict arriving in 1998, we expect Tebbel's new book to become the pre- imminent work on the subject. The last major effort to tell the story was in the 1950's. Because of its style, the book will appeal to both knowledgeable historians and to those who simply wish to learn from and enjoy a fine historical novel.
