TURNING POINT FOR AMERICA, THE STORY OF THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR, Westein, Messner hb, dj, xlib, 1966, 191 pp, "The events of America's fight with Spain for control over primarily the Philippines and Cuba. This was the first war that America really fought on foreign soil and the fighting methods and logistics learned during this war helped prepare the newly formed troops for World War I. Many interesting sidelines are talked about such as how newspapers playing a part in arousing American sentiment, the first war posters and ads with slogans such as "Remember the Maine, " what it was like to fight in trench warfare and how to think ahead and supply troops with materials they would need for different terrains as up until that time, it was not an art and many soldiers ended up in the hot humid tropics dressed in winter uniforms. The book is filled with a lot of information, which would be a valuable aid to understanding the beginnings of America"s Armed troops and the art of warfare to peoples not necessarily very familiar with anything other than having fought in the civil war.
