About This Book

An island's history is recounted from European discovery through colonial rule, foreign occupations, and repeated independence uprisings, detailing major insurgencies and diplomatic incidents that heightened international attention. The author contrasts Spanish military reprisals and hardline tactics with Cuban guerrilla strategies, describes humanitarian suffering caused by reconcentration and punitive campaigns, and surveys the island's geography and economic resources. The narrative evaluates international reactions, American involvement, and competing visions for political outcome, concluding with speculation about possible futures and reconstruction based on its natural wealth.
