Thomas, Newsweek editor and author of Sea of Thunder, presents a psychological interpretation of the Spanish-American War, arguing that Teddy Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge, and William Randolph Hearst played up minor incidents into a major conflict in order to assuage personal issues of courage and manhood dating back to their fathers’ failure to fight in the Civil War.
