| Summary |
"Following the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898, pro-war arguments prevailed in the American press, influencing public opinion in favor of engaging in the Spanish-American War--or so goes the popular version of events. Yet there was a substantial anti-imperialist segment of public that tried to halt the advance towards conflict"-- Provided by publisher |
