博客來Filibusters And Financiers delves into a fascinating period of 19th-century American history, exploring the intersection of reckless adventurers and powerful financial interests. William Oscar Scroggs examines the era’s bold attempts at territorial expansion, driven by both idealistic fervor and the lure of economic gain. From daring military expeditions to complex financial schemes, this book uncovers the intricate web of motivations that shaped America’s westward expansion and its growing global influence.
