Description

From 1895 to 1898, Cuban insurgents fought to free their place of origin from Spanish rule. Though ceaselessly overshadowed by the “Splendid Little War” of the Americans in 1898, in keeping with John Tone, the longer Spanish-Cuban conflict used to be if truth be told more remarkable, foreshadowing the wars of decolonization within the twentieth century.

Employing newly released evidence–including hospital records, intercepted Cuban letters, battle diaries from both sides, and Spanish administrative records–Tone offers new answers to old questions regarding the war. He examines the origin of Spain’s genocidal policy of “reconcentration”; the causes of Spain’s military difficulties; the condition, effectiveness, and popularity of the Cuban insurgency; the necessity of American intervention; and Spain’s supposed foreknowledge of defeat.

The Spanish-Cuban-American war proved pivotal within the histories of all three countries involved. Tone’s fresh analysis will provoke new discussions and debates among historians and human rights scholars as they reexamine the war by which the concentration camp used to be invented, Cuba used to be born, Spain lost its empire, and The united states gained an out of the country empire.
