Sommario/riassunto: From 1895 to 1898, Cuban insurgents fought to free their homeland from Spanish rule. This book offers answers to questions concerning the war. It examines the origin of Spain's genocidal policy of "reconcentration"; its military difficulties; the Cuban insurgency; the necessity of American intervention; and its supposed foreknowledge of defeat.
