      abstract = {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.},
