Book excerpt: One hundred and fifty years ago a small group of Cuban patriots declared the island to be independent and began a conflict which became known as the Ten Years War. They wished to throw off the yoke of Spanish colonialism and bring about the end of slavery. Force of circumstance compelled them to embark upon guerrilla tactics and a form of economic warfare which was to leave the country devastated. The book describes the causes, course and consequences of this little known war as well as describing the opposing forces and political events surrounding the conflict. The downfall of the rebels did not quell their lofty ideals and the country eventually became independent as a result of the much better known Spanish American War some twenty years later.This book is the only easily available title in English and will be of interest to anyone with an interest in military history and Latin American history. Anyone planning a holiday on the "Ever Faithful Isle" will also find the book to be of interest since its contents explain the many monuments and other sites of interest that tourists will encounter. Likewise the information about opposing forces will be of interest to military model makers and those who play historical games.
