About this product
Product Information
From 1895 to 1898, Cuban insurgents fought to free their homeland from Spanish rule. Though often overshadowed by the "Splendid Little War" of the Americans in 1898, according to John Tone, the longer Spanish-Cuban conflict was in fact more remarkable, foreshadowing the wars of decolonization in 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 concerning 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 in 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 in which the concentration camp was invented, Cuba was born, Spain lost its empire, and America gained an overseas empire.

Reviews
"Adds enormously to our understanding of the political, social and military dimensions of this war and is essential reading for anyone interested in the island's history, the early story of U.S. imperialism in the Caribbean, or Latin American military history." -Caribbean Studies, "Offers a compelling and fresh account of the putative triumph of masculinist realism over the sentimental novel and its largely female readers and writers." -Men and Masculinities, "Skillful research leads to revisions of past interpretations. . . .

Deserves considerable attention." -The Journal of Military History, "Makes interesting reading and will stir academic debate and inspire further research." -Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, "Makes interesting reading and will stir academic debate and inspire further research." -- Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, "Makes careful use of Spanish, Cuban and US archives to provide a truly international account of the conflict." -- Patterns of Prejudice, "Masterful . . . fascinating and captivating. . . .

Tone does an excellent job of presenting the viewpoint of both the Cubans and the Spanish fairly." -- H-Net, "A nuanced perspective. . . . Tone writes well and his work will be accessible to experts and undergraduates alike. . . . A valuable addition to both Cuban and Spanish history and its publication is yet another indication of the high quality of scholarship that has emerged in recent years." -American Historical Review, "A highly accessible, explicitly revisionist narrative. . . .

Book wasn’t packed very well so it got pretty dinged up on the way. Corners and such are bent up. It was cheap though so I guess it’s fine. Shipped fast, and was an easy transaction though.
