{"product_id":"9781476629544","title":"Resistance to the Spanish-American and Philippine Wars: Anti-Imperialism and the Role of the Press, 1895-1902","description":"   Following the sinking of the USS \u003ci\u003eMaine\u003c\/i\u003e in Havana Harbor in 1898, pro-war arguments in the American press led public opinion to favor engaging in the Spanish-American War—or so goes the popular version of events. Yet there was a substantial anti-imperialist segment of the public that tried to halt the advance towards conflict.    Drawing on contemporary sources, the author analyzes the anti-war arguments that preceded the Spanish-American War and continued during the war in the Philippines. News articles, letters to editors, opinion pieces and the yellow journalism of the day show how anti-war groups ultimately failed to stop a war with Spain.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165202497776,"sku":"9781476629544","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476629544_p0.jpg?v=1763608955","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476629544","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
