"Mark Barnes has produced a much-needed bibliography covering the period inwhich the United States conquered its first overseas empire?the strengths of Barnes's approach?make it a work of significance that should form part of any library concerned with American imperialism and US relations with the former Spanish colonies." - John Tone, European History Quarterly
