Product Description A comprehensive overview of the wars that saw the United States emerge as a world power; one that had immense implications for America, especially in Latin America and Asia. ABC-CLIO, acclaimed publisher of superior references on the United States at war, revisits a pivotal moment in America's coming-of-age with The Encyclopedia of the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars: A Political, Social, and Military History. Again under the direction of renowned scholar Spencer Tucker, the encyclopedia covers the conflict between the United States and Spain with a depth and breadth no other reference works can match. The encyclopedia offers two complete volumes of alphabetically organized entries written by some of the world's foremost historians, covering everything from the course of the wars to relevant economic, social, and cultural matters in the United States, Spain, and other nations. Featuring a separate volume of primary-source documents and a wealth of images and maps, the encyclopedia portrays the day-to-day drama and lasting legacy of the war like never before, guiding readers through a seminal event in America's transition from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era. Over 600 alphabetically organized entries in two volumes, covering leading individuals, battles, weapons systems, and events in the United States, Spain, and other nations, as well as economic, cultural, and social topics Written by expert contributors, with distinguished scholars of American military history and of the era in which the Spanish-American War took place Over 150 primary-source documents in a separate volume giving readers firsthand access to the way the Spanish-American War unfolded and was experienced 350 photographs and illustrations, as well as 16 maps, providing a rich array of images to help readers visualize the war's key events and lasting impact An exceptionally extensive bibliography guiding readers to significant additional resources in print Review "Tucker, editor of several war encyclopedias for ABC-CLIO, lays out a comprehensive overview of the Spanish-American and Philippine-American wars, both of which changed the position of the United States in the world. The first two volumes contain over 600 signed A-to-Z entries that describe the most significant people, battles, events, and geographic locations from the United States and around the world, as well as more general cultural, social, and economic topics. Photographs and other images, such as maps and broadsides, accompany more than half of the entries. The third volume contains 153 primary-source documents from the period. Bottom Line ABC-CLIO is known for high-quality encyclopedias, and this one does not disappoint. It will provide researchers in academic and large public libraries with the context needed for further research." - Library Journal "Dealing with conflicts that receive comparatively little academic and popular attention, this set offers sweeping coverage of American victories over Spain in Cuba and the Philippines. …Both accessible to the novice researcher and detailed enough for the scholar, this encyclopedia offers exceptional and unique coverage of an often-neglected aspect of U.S. history." - Booklist "This encyclopedia will be very valuable for all academic libraries supporting undergraduate and graduate programs in American, Asian, and Latino history, and for those libraries wishing to boost their late-19th-century/early-20th-century history collections. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers." - Choice "This work is recommended for large public libraries and all academic libraries, especially ones with strong collections in the Gilded Age/Progressive Era or military history." - Reference & User Services Quarterly "This scholarly encyclopedia is highly recommended for high school, public, and academic libraries." - Lawrence Looks at Books "This new work would
