4.0 out of 5 stars
Concise & Informative,
By K.A.Goldberg (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Spanish-American War and President McKinley (Paperback)
This concise book looks at the actions of President McKinley before, during, and after the War with Spain in 1898. Author Lewis Gould begins by examining the pre-war situation facing the President, and the reasons he eventually chose to go to conflict (the sinking of the Battleship Maine not being the primary reason). Then we see McKinley's stewardship during and after the Conquest. In Gould's readable prose, McKinley comes off as strong, temperate, and reasonable. Many will accept this thesis, but others may wonder why Spain would want conflict with a rising world power, one that sat far closer to Cuba than did its colonizer. Whatever your view, this is a concise, informative, and readable look.
