Autor Grover Flint John Fiske
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2003
A war correspondent's field note-book kept during four months with the Cuban Army, plus appendices covering such topics as social classes in Cuba, organization of the Cuban Army, and the effects of the modern Mauser bullet. From the introduction by the noted historian, John Fiske: "The visit of my son-in-law, Mr. Grover Flint, to Cuba, early in 1896, was made with the purpose of obtaining correct information as to what was going on in the island. A brief stay at Havana was enough to assure him that the information received in that city was likely to be anything but correct. He therefore made up his mind to break away and visit the insurgents, in order to satisfy himself by ocular inspection as to the various points upon which he wished to be informed. Some experience of life on the Plains as a soldier in the United States army had prepared him for the kind of adventures involved in the undertaking, and he had lived in Spain long enough to become familiar with the language, as well as with Spanish ideas and mental habits. Under these circumstances, and with exceptional opportunities for observation, he gathered the materials for the narrative which follows; in which his purpose has been to tell the 'plain unvarnished tale' of what he saw and heard."
