San Juan, 1898

Informationen zum Autor Angus Konstam, illustrated by David Rickman Klappentext Labelled a 'splendid little war' by Senator John Hay, the Spanish American War was a peculiar event in America's history, provoked as much by the press as by political pressures. Here, aided by superbly detailed maps and artwork, the author deals with the clashes at Las Guasimas and El Caney, the capture of San Juan Hill, and the naval battle and siege of Santiago. The war was to mark the end of Spanish sovereignty in her 'New World', and the establishment of the United States of America as a world power. Zusammenfassung The background to this conflict, covered here, lay in the Cuban insurrection of 1895-1898 and its suppression by Cuba's Spanish overlords. Following the destruction of the USS Maine in Havana harbour, the US declared war on Spain, sending some 17,000 men to invade Cuba.
