The War Lovers

Their dynamic personalities and influence on American expansionism make for a compelling story. I'm curious what drew the author to this particular cast of characters.

The book highlights how Hearst and others used sensationalism to push imperialist policies. I wonder how readers interpret the power of media then versus now.

It’s easy to get lost in the dense info, but the narrative feels lively. I'm interested in what choices the author made to keep it accessible.
