Indigo A SPLENDID LITTLE WAR: The Spanish-American War and America's Imperial Moment, 1898 | Erin Mills Town Centre
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Indigo
In the spring of 1898, America went to war for just ten weeks — and woke up an empire. Most people know two things about the Spanish-American War: "Remember the Maine," and Teddy Roosevelt charging up San Juan Hill. But the real story — how one explosion in Havana harbor, a newspaper war between Hearst and Pulitzer, and a few months of fighting handed the United States the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Guam — has been all but forgotten. If 1898 has always felt like a blank spot in your grasp of American history, A Splendid Little War fills it in with pace, color, and unforgettable characters. This is the Spanish-American War as it actually unfolded — the moment a young republic stepped onto the world stage as an imperial power. Inside, you'll discover: * **How "yellow journalism"** by Hearst and Pulitzer stampeded a nation into war — a media playbook still used today. * **The truth about the USS Maine** — the explosion, the mystery, and the war cry it ignited. * **Dewey at Manila Bay and the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill** — the battles of 1898 that made Theodore Roosevelt a president. * **The real cost of empire** — the Philippine-American War, the Buffalo Soldiers, and anti-imperialists like Mark Twain who fought back. This isn't dry textbook history. It's a fast-moving, you-are-there account of the Spanish-American War and the imperial moment that changed America forever. If you love narrative history that reads like a thriller, A Splendid Little War belongs on your shelf. Scroll up, click "Buy Now," and discover the splendid little war that built an American empire.
