Summary:
This book details various historical episodes of Cuban history
providing little known facts about what truly happened during the
Wars of Independence. It provides insight on some of the key figures
of the conflict with Spain and the United States. Some of these
figures had been totally ignored by other historians. It shows the
critical contributions of Horacio Rubens, Leoncio Prado, Francisco
Aguilera, Bernabé Varona, William Cushing, Johnnie O'Brien, Federico
Blume, Emeterio Betances, William Astor Chanler, Bartolomé Masó and
many others previously ignored or unknown. The book also analyzes and
describes the true facts behind the sinking of the battleship "Maine"
in Havana's harbor showing how and who perpetrated this incident that
led to the war between Spain, Cuba, and the United States. Early
expeditions against Cuba, and political conflicts between well known
figures of our history like Tomás Estrada Palma clearly show that
divisionism is not new to the history of our country. The efforts of
the Government of the United States to suppress the insurrection
against Spain and persecute the Cubans that fought for the freedom of
their land show a remarkable parallel with the policies of today's
Government showing that history repeats itself. This book presents an
overall view of Cuba's history in a narrative easy to read style by
one of the best historians of our time.
