About This Item
New York:: Scribner,, (2019). Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a like dustjacket.. First printing. An account of a pivotal time in US history - a war of only six months' time that dramatically altered the United States' standing in the world. When America declared war on Spain in 1898, the US Army had just 26,000 men - in desperation the Rough Riders were formed. A diverse group of volunteers, led by Theodore Roosevelt, they helped secure victory in Cuba - and the beginning of American imperialism in the 20th century. Roosevelt called their charge in the Battle of San Juan Hill his 'crowded hour' - a turning point in his life, that led him to the White House. Based on diaries, letters, and memoirs. Maps, photographs, extensive notes, bibliography, index. xii, 355 pp.
