Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. 24 cm, 314, ink notation front endpaper, underlining on p. 13, DJ edges worn, edges & endpapers soiled, review slip & pub ephemera laid in. How President James Madison manipulated public opinion and foreign governments to wrest Florida from Spain. The first war in our history which featured articulate, strident, determined and able protesters, and the first war we clearly didn't win, was the very first war we fought after winning independence. It was the War of 1812.....A true-to-life historical thriller. In the purchase of the Louisiana Territory, then-Secretary of State James Madison and his assistant, James Monroe, connived in making the eastern boundaries of that territory uncertain. They were plotting to eventually use the pretext of unclear boundaries as part of the justification for seizing "the Floridas." Propaganda operations occurred during President James Madison's Florida intrigues: "a preliminary propaganda phase--working up excitement in and about the target--then the organizing of a 'patriot government' opposed to the group we wished to get rid of, then an armed attack by the 'patriots' on the nearest legitimate authority...then an appeal to the United States government to assume control and restore 'order, ' a call which the United States government usually answered."
