War and genocide in Cuba, 1895-1898
Book • 2006
This pathbreaking study rescues the Spanish-Cuban War from being seen merely as a prelude to the U.S.
intervention in 1898, focusing on the Cuban Liberation Army's campaigns to destroy the colonial plantation system and the Spanish policy of reconcentration that led to the deaths of nearly 10 percent of Cuba's population.
Tone uses primary sources like diaries, letters, and hospital records to trace the island's descent into total war, arguing that the concentration camp was effectively invented during this conflict.
The book provides new insights into the war's brutality and its consequences for Cuba's history.
