This work chronicles America's drive for empire at the dawn of the twentieth-century,
culminating in the conquest of a fledging Asian republic. At the center of the story
stands the dynamic Theodore Roosevelt, who pressures a reluctant President McKinley
into war against Spain. The clash vaults America to world power and thrusts the nation
into a war in the Philippines. On the eve of a new century, an up-and-coming Theodore
Roosevelt set out to transform the U.S. into a major world power. The Spanish-American
War would forever change America's standing in global affairs, and drive the young
nation into its own imperial showdown in the Philippines. From Admiral George Dewey's
legendary naval victory in Manila Bay to the Rough Riders' heroic charge up San Juan
Hill, from Roosevelt's rise to the presidency amid national tragedy, to charges of
U.S. military misconduct and torture in the Philippines, this work captures America's
exuberant and at times painful coming of age in an era brimming with American optimism
and confidence as the nation expanded its influence abroad
