How these three outsize characters-Theodore Roosevelt, Joseph "Fighting Joe" Wheeler, and William Randolph Hearst-helped ignite the war that established the United States' offshore empire is the rousing tale that Matthew Bernstein tells in Team of Giants. From his days as a Dakota deputy sheriff, Theodore Roosevelt had dreamed of leading a cowboy regiment into battle. With a little help from his friends, in 1898 he got his wish. While Roosevelt raised the Rough Riders in San Antonio, Congressman Wheeler delivered bellicose speeches from the US Capitol, and Hearst pulled out all the stops in the San Francisco Examiner and New York Journal.

In Bernstein's sweeping history, these towering figures come to life as they set in motion events that would put a period on the Civil War era, transform the global media landscape, and alter geopolitics for the twentieth century-with the plight of the Cuban people serving as a backdrop for a world-class contest of wills and wiles. A stirring narrative built on rigorous research, Team of Giants is a fresh account of the role the martial ambitions of these men played in a war that would launch the American Century and set each man on the path to his own place in history.
