A century after the Cuban war for independence was fought, Louis Perez examines the meaning of the war of 1898 as represented in one hundred years of American historical writing. Offering both a critique of the conventional historiography and an alternate history of the war informed by Cuban sources, Perez explores the assumptions that have shaped our understanding of the SpanishAmerican Wara construct, he argues, that denies the Cubans participation in their own struggle for liberation from Spanish rule.Perez examines historical accounts of the destruction of the battleship Maine, the representation of public opinion as a precipitant of war, and the treatment of the military campaign in Cuba. Equally important, he shows how historical narratives have helped sustain notions of Americas national purpose and policy, many of which were first articulated in 1898. Cuba insinuated itself into one of the most important chapters of U.S. history, and what happened on the island in the final decade of the nineteenth centuryand the way in which what happened was subsequently representedhas had farreaching implications, many of which continue to resonate today.

As a history teacher, I appreciate the thorough exploration of the War of 1898. The context provided helps students understand modern implications. The writing style makes it accessible, though I wish it had more visuals to break up the text.

Came in damaged, but the content is solid
I was disappointed when my copy arrived with a torn cover, but I couldn’t put the book down once I started reading. The insights into the War of 1898 are fantastic, and I’ll just have to deal with the cover issue.
