An Unwanted War Authors: John L. Offner
Publisher: UNC Press Books
Published Date: 2014-04-24
Categories: History
Offner clarifies the complex relations of the United States, Spain, and Cuba leading up to the Spanish-American War and contends that the war was not wanted by any of the parties but was nonetheless unavoidable. He shows that a final round of peace negotiations failed in large part because internal political constraints limited diplomatic flexibility.

Inside Lincoln's White House Authors: John Hay, Michael Burlingame, John R. Turner Ettlinger
Publisher: SIU Press
Published Date: 1999-02-01
Categories: Biography & Autobiography
Hay's Civil War diary, presented here in a definitive edition by Michael Burlingame and John R. Turner Ettlinger is justly deemed the most intimate record we will ever have of Abraham Lincoln in the White House. The Hay diary is, according to Burlingame and Ettlinger, "one of the richest deposits of high-grade ore for the smelters of Lincoln biographers and Civil War historians." While the Cabinet diaries of Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Gideon Welles also shed much light on Lincoln's presidency, as does the diary of Senator Orville Hickman Browning, none of these diaries has the literary flair of Hay's, which is, as Lincoln's friend Horace White noted, as "breezy and sparkling as champagne." An aspiring poet, Hay recorded events in a scintillating style that the lawyer-politician diarists conspicuously lacked. Burlingame and Ettlinger's edition of the diary is the first to publish the complete text of all of Hay's entries from 1861 through 1864.

Lincoln's Journalist Authors: John Hay, John M. Hay
Publisher: SIU Press
Published Date: 1998
Categories: Biography & Autobiography
Burlingame takes great pains to establish authorship of the items reproduced here. He convincingly demonstrates that the essays and letters written for the Providence Journal, the Springfield Illinois State Journal, and the St. Louis Missouri Democrat under the pseudonym "Ecarte" are the work of Hay. And he finds much circumstantial and stylistic evidence that Hay wrote as "our special correspondent" for the Washington World and for the St. Louis Missouri Republican.
