Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Relations of the United States and Spain, Vol. 1: The Spanish-American War This work is intended in the main as a documentary history. An endeavor has been made to give all important orders, telegrams, and reports. It is not to be understood that these, or any considerable portion of them, are for the first time before the public. All of any real importance have already appeared in government publications or with governmental approval. The interior history of no war or other great event has ever before been so fully exposed as in the many volumes published by the American government and in the documents set forth with the authority of the government of Spain. These are given in detail in the bibliography. Using the words of the Messenger in Antigone, the writer can say, in part, "I saw"; and in whole: ... I will speak and hold back No syllable of the truth. Why should we soothe Your ears with stories, only to appear Liars thereafter? Truth is always right. This is the writer´s view of history: neither to magnify our own exploits nor to depreciate those of the foe. We were comparatively strong in the material of war; he was weak; we had the initiative of the Anglo-Saxon, he the spirit of passive sacrifice which, as shown through history, has made the Spaniard strong in defence. Spain defeated was not Spain dishonored. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
