| Synopsis: |
History is like a multifaceted jewel, made up of many perspectives. The builders of empires have exciting stories to tell, stories that are full of courage and adventure. The settlers who venture into new lands often pride themselves on their free and daring spirits, their willingness to endure hardships, their determination in the face of obstacles. These stories are true. But the people who already live in those same new lands know a different side to the truth. The natives' stories often tell of loss and destruction, tragedy and death. The Monroe Doctrine - America's policy of intervention in other nations' affairs - has played a major role in the stories the United States has told about itself, but it is only one angle of history's many facets. As America matured as a nation, the Monroe Doctrine touched the lives of countless citizens of other lands. It would lead the United States into a war; by the end of that war, America would have acquired several of the islands that sprinkled the world's oceans. This book will tell you another chapter in America's story - and it will also tell you the stories of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines. |
