Meticulous History,

This review is from: An Unwanted War: The Diplomacy of the United States and Spain Over Cuba, 1895-1898 (Paperback)
This book is a painstaking reconstruction of the diplomacy of the Spanish-American War. The author writes well, avoids sweeping generalizations, and sticks closely to the archival record (made up mostly of diplomatic reports and demarches). The reader gets a good feel for the issues faced by policymakers in Washington and Madrid. However, Offner's failure to put events in a broader social or political context makes for a dry narrative. The narrow diplomatic focus is especially surprising since Offner believes that the war was caused by domestic political pressures in the U.S.
