America rises. Call to arms ; "He is no tender chicken" ; America's Marine ; Manila Bay ; Guantánamo Bay ; "It was war, and it was magnificent" ; The eagle spreads its wings

Imperial glory. "White man's burden" ; Spring victories, summer stalemate ; "The Filipino Republic is destroyed" ; " A nasty little war" ; "Men of a bygone age" ; "Brave hearts and bright weapons" ; The Election of 1900

The bloody work of empire. "War without limits" ; The massacre at Balangiga ; Hell-roaring Jake ; "Kill and burn!" ; Death in the jungle

Questions of honor. "Deeds of hideous cruelty" ; The trial of Major Waller ' "The President desires all the facts' ; "Blood grown hot" ; Homecoming ; "Where is the line to be drawn?"
