Description

The short but decisive war of 1898 is described and explained in its full local context, from the Cuban revolt of 1895 onwards, whilst also presenting it in its broadest, international context. It also addresses the wider question of imperialism and the rise of the USA to world power status at the end of the 19th-century. Key features: a concise length for a 'big' subject making it readable and easy-to-use and setting it in its broadest context, so it isn't wholly concerned with the American role in events. It takes account of recent historical writing on the subject by Cuban as well as American writers and provides an up-to-date synthesis of historical views. It describes how Spain finally lost its empire, and the United States - amidst much domestic controversy acquired one, in the shape of the Phillipines, Puerto Rico, Guam and, for a time, Cuba itself. Readership: Undergraduate students following courses on U.S. History, Latin American History, World History, Military History and U.S. Foreign Policy.
