Review # 1 was written on 2011-07-27 00:00:00 Thomas Riddle Good book. If you are interested in a view on the Spanish-American War, its reasons and ramifications, this is the book for you. Easily read in a few sittings, Perez unlike many academics can actually write in a way that is not considered treatment for insomnia.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-09-15 00:00:00 Shane Parrish Eye opening. Books like this show the power of history and the damage patriotic jingoism can have on perspective even after the event has long past. Jack Nicholson's quote from the Two Jakes sums up the author's point nicely: "the past never goes away."
