520			_aThis illustrated A-Z encyclopedia provides basic information about the Spanish-American and Philippine American wars. The book contains facts and myths about the conflict that propelled the United States onto the world stage as an international and colonial power with the acquisition of the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam. It details all the campaigns and principal battles of the extended conflict. It also provides capsule biographies of key military and political figures of the United States, Spain, Cuba, and the Philippines. The book reveals the crucial role played by the U.S. yellow press in manipulating public opinion and surveys U.S efforts to pacify the fierce Moro population of Mindanaoan and the Sulu archipelago. Maps, a chronology, an up-to-date bibliography, and a thorough index enhance the volume's reference value.
