Michael L. Manson opens this edition of “Book Notes” with a review of H. Paul Jeffers’s look at Theodore Roosevelt’s role in starting and prosecuting the Spanish-American War. Manson writes that Colonel Roosevelt: Theodore Roosevelt Goes to War, 1897-1898 portrays Roosevelt as the driving force behind American entry into the war. The section also promotes three books written by two members of the Theodore Roosevelt Association, and it praises recent works on Roosevelt by Joan Paterson Kerr and Joseph R. Ornig. The section also contains a text box with information about a poster and booklet honoring Roosevelt produced by the New York State Department of Labor.
