The Splendid Little War Frank Freidel Introduction by Prof. Mark Clodfelter, National War College "'It has been a splendid little war...' wrote John Hay to Theodore Roosevelt as the Spanish-American War ended in 1898. Indeed it was splendid for the American public, but for the Rough Riders and other soldiers it was as grim, dirty, and bloody as any war. Only the ineptitude of the Spaniards, and the luck of the Americans, kept it from stretching into a disastrous struggle. "A story that is sobering as well as gripping." - The New York Times Frank Freidel was Professor of History at Harvard University and is the author of Franklin D. Roosevelt: A Rendevous with Destiny, and many other books. $18.95 Co-op available Classics of War Series 256 pp 6 x 9 24 per carton 60 black & white photographs ISBN: 1-58080-093-9 pb Burford Books
