The title was lifted from a remark made by John Hay, U.S. ambassador to England, to Teddy Roosevelt at the conclusion of the Spanish-American War. "Splendid" was far from how the soldiers who fought the war would have described it, however. Even though the conflict lasted only four months, the combatants experienced the horror of war at its fullest. This 1958 volume draws heavily from the firsthand experiences of the soldiers and other players involved. The text is buttressed throughout with many photos and illustrations.
