In this superbly written narrative of what we now call the Spanish-American War, Walter Millis analyzes its causes and the motives of the time’s leading spirits—Teddy Roosevelt, Hearst, Pulitzer, Dewey, Lodge, Hay, and others—and recounts the ironies and grotesqueries of the conflict. \"A notable contribution to the study of American history and of American character.\"—Henry Steele Commager. \"Mr. Millis writes every page well.\"—New York Times. \"A mature, intelligent, and exciting work—a rare occurrence in historical writing…A complete history of the American people at war which is so well contrived and so wittily written that it puts to shame both the efforts of professional historians and the products of those writers who merely seek to amuse without intending to inform.\"—The Nation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50317158416657,"sku":"CIN0929587073VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740576903441,"sku":"NIN9780929587073","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52770551693585,"sku":"CIN0929587073G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0929587073.jpg?v=1756101513"},{"product_id":"forrestal-diaries-book-walter-millis-9781163699713","title":"The Forrestal Diaries","description":"Kessinger Publishing is the place to find hundreds of thousands of rare and hard-to-find books with something of interest for everyone","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50379372036369,"sku":"CIN1163699713VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51020946899217,"sku":"NIN9781163699713","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52109384057105,"sku":"GOR013790886","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1163699713.jpg?v=1751206871"},{"product_id":"arms-and-men-book-walter-millis-9780813509310","title":"Arms and Men","description":"\"A classic..., a brilliant interpretation of the origins of mass warfare. In Arms and Men, Walter Millis has helped to explain not only how war has come to dominate our age, but the often troubled, anomalous relationship between the military and the rest of American society. For everyone, from the beginning student to the advanced scholar, there is not a more comprehensive, more stimulating, or more lively introduction to the men, the ideas, the policies, and the forces that have shaped the development of American military power.\"  --Richard H. Kohn   \"In my opinion Arms and Men is a splendid piece of work, clearly organized, well argued and beautifully written. We have long needed an informed and intelligent commentary on the evolution of American military policy; and in Mr. Millis' book we have it. I think that his book will awaken great interest and be widely used. I am sure also that professional students of the subject will find it possible, after reading this book, to see the course of American military affairs with a new perspective. That is one of the great services performed by Mr. Millis. He has covered the whole subject with authority, but - thank heaven - in a short book, in which the arguments are not blunted by unnecessary detail.\"  --Gordon A. Craig   \"This author knows weapons, politics and human nature. His perceptive grasp of these complexes shines in the writing.\"  --The New York Times","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50422895116561,"sku":"CIN0813509319G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52127491195153,"sku":"NLS9780813509310","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813509319.jpg?v=1761387839"},{"product_id":"forrestal-diaries-book-walter-millis-9781104836245","title":"The Forrestal Diaries","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51019338023185,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51019340316945,"sku":"NIN9781104836245","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1104836246.jpg?v=1750752777"},{"product_id":"forrestal-diaries-book-walter-millis-9781494121129","title":"The Forrestal Diaries","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51673581715729,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51673581912337,"sku":"NIN9781494121129","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1494121123.jpg?v=1750827401"},{"product_id":"forrestal-diaries-book-walter-millis-9780548386071","title":"The Forrestal Diaries","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52951995089169,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52951995121937,"sku":"NIN9780548386071","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780548386071.jpg?v=1766070336"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-walter-millis.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
