Books with author A.C.M. Azoy

The Battle of San Juan Hill of July 1, 1898, also known as the battle for the San Juan Heights, was a decisive battle of the Spanish-American War. The San Juan heights was a north-south running elevation about 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) east of Santiago de Cuba, Cuba. This fight for the heights was the bloodiest and most famous battle of the war. It was also the location of the so called “greatest victory” for the Rough Riders, as stated by the press and its new commander, Theodore Roosevelt, who eventually became vice president and later president of the United States, and who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2001 for his actions in Cuba.In Charge! The Story of the Battle of San Juan Hill, Colonel Azoy reconstructs the events of the Battle of San Juan Hill, the climax of the Spanish-American War, a war that so strongly shaped the course of American Development and one that has until now been curiously ignored in the annals of American historical writing.
