Remembering the Spanish-American War (2-CD Set): Remembering the SpanishAmerican War 2CD Set |
| Product Description : Aside from the two World Wars, the Spanish American War remains one of the most significant events in World History. Briefly, it marked a shift in political power from Europe to the United Sates. Political pressures that had built up over decades in the United States, Cuba and the Philippines finally escalated into open war against the Spanish. Always in the forefront of war against oppression and imperialism, the United States took the war against Spain to its limits. Thanks to the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company and the Thomas Alva Edison Company, we have 70 fabulous visual records on film of American soldiers engaged in various military duties during the war. These CDs are also loaded with over 600 riveting photographs and paintings that carry you deep into enemy territory. This was Naval warfare at its fiercest and the vivid images preserved on CDs underline America?s absolute supremacy over the Spanish. Especially memorable are snapshots of the once proud Spanish Navy in shambles, its vessels of war reduced to scrap iron in Manila Bay. By contrast, the hostilities in Cuba were more of the conventional variety, with the artillery and infantry being put to good use. On the flip side, these videos and photographs offer a peek at war causalities and the rigors of war at its worst. As bonus, you have some fabulous vintage pictures of the Philippines and Cuba taken just prior to the war. This is a superb account of a war in which America, for the first time, flexed her military muscle and showcased her firepower to the outside world. The war, which ended on a triumphant note for America sent out an unmistakable message to the world - that Americans were prepared to defend democracy anywhere and at any cost. The story of the historic Spanish-American war could not have been told in a more appealing manner than this. That however is just one of the reasons why history buffs must add this fabulous 2-CD set from A2ZCDS.com to his or her collection. |
