From the sinking of the USS Maine to the Battle of Manila Bay and the Rough Riders' legendary charge up San Juan Hill, some of the most iconic stories and images of the new American superpower were forged in this short war. In THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR: FIRST INTERVENTION, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® presents the conflict that set a precedent for American intervention in foreign engagements, the results of which continue to resonate today. Reader Reviews The reconstructions were interesting,the actor who played Teddy Roosevelt was fine, but the way it was shot made me queasy.I react with my stomach to jerky, handheld photography. The photography here was like that.Others with less squeamish stomachs may react differently to the photography.The excellent extra biography of T.R. did not bother me at all. It was shot conventionally.Would give it 5 stars but for the above. People with sensitive stomachs beware.
