Politics of War: The Story of Two Wars Which Altered Forever the Political Life of the American Republic / Edition 1

by Walter Karp, Lewis Lapham

Overview

Politics of War describes the emergence of the United States as a world power between the years 1890 and 1920-our contrivance of the Spanish-American War and our gratuitous entrance into World War I-and by filling in the back story of an era in which mendacious oligarchy organized the country's politics in a manner convenient to its own indolence and greed, Karp offers a clearer understanding of our current political circumstance.
