Summary
If you want to discover the captivating history of the Spanish-American War, then pay attention....
The Spanish-American War really only lasted about 10 weeks (the buildup and decision to go to war took longer than the war itself), but a peace treaty was not signed until December of 1898.
This was an event that was the tipping point for the end of the Spanish Empire and the rise of the US as a formidable player on the world stage. Not all Americans were happy with the change, with famous Americans like Mark Twain speaking out about the US occupation of the lands that it was meant to save.

The Jammed Hour
The audible was very educational and provided great insight into some of the lives of the Rough Riders. At times the listening was weighted, but overall I liked the audible.
