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 to charges of U.S. military misconduct in the Philippines, Honor in the Dust captures an era brimming with American optimism and confidence as the nation expanded its influence abroad.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 959.9031 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 959.9031 Jones Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 959.9031 Jo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
