On the eve of a new century, an up-and-coming Theodore Roosevelt set out

to transform the U.S. into a major world power. 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 brilliantly captures an era brimming with American

optimism and confidence as the nation expanded its influence abroad.

Reviews for Honor in the Dust: Theodore Roosevelt, War in the Philippines, and the Rise and Fall of America's Imperial Dream

The Philippines Occupation was the first of the United States' quagmires, yet its lessons have been willfully ignored by later generations. Honor in the Dust recovers this essential history, the bombast of Washington's jingoism to the terror of the lost patrol in Samar. Gregg Jones does an admirable job of bringing this extraordinary period and its remarkable characters to life. -Anne Nelson, author of Savages
