Splendid Liberators by Joe Jackson
Splendid Liberators is a narrative history of the 1898 Spanish–American War and its aftermath, exploring how the conflict expanded U.S. influence and affected Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines. Through portraits of central figures—Teddy Roosevelt, José Martí, Emilio Aguinaldo, Clara Barton, Mark Twain, and others—and scenes from battlefields, disease-ridden camps, and political debates, the book examines the human costs, resistance, and lasting consequences of America’s first major overseas intervention from American, Cuban, and Filipino perspectives.
