This succinct, readable outgrowth of the author's highly-acclaimed volume The Presidency of William McKinley , deserves widespread adoption in courses on late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century U.S. diplomatic history and foreign policy. It substantially supersedes other accounts of the coming of the Spanish-American War, the war itself, and the aftermath of the conflict. Based on the most up-to-date research available, it provides a new and refreshing perspective on McKinley's handling of the war. According to Gould, McKinley's expansive view of presidential power had a significant effect on his role as commander-in-chief during the war years and on his efforts to make the White House a command post. McKinley laid the foundation of the modern presidency by his courageous and principled presidential leadership during the coming of the war, by the way he conducted and oversaw the war itself, and by the manner in which he made peace with Spain, acquired the Philippines, and gained approval of the Treaty of Paris in the Senate Gould's thought-provoking analysis may cause scholars to rethink the era in a new way; its lively style will be appreciated by students.

William McKinley: America's first modern President
Lewis L. Gould is University of Texas Professor Emeritus of history. In THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR AND PRESIDENT MCKINLEY, Gould makes a convincing case that our 25th President created the modern American presidency. During his assassination-shortened administration, the United States freed Cuba from Spain, annexed Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Phiippines and intervened without Congressional approval to put down the Boxer Rebellion in China. Through patronage, persuasion, kindliness and masking of his intentions he bent Congress to his will as had few chief executives before him. -OOO-
