Synopsis

This book provides a nuanced understanding of the Cuban Question at the turn of the 20th century. It counters sensationalist accounts with facts and argues that the Cuban populace did not support the insurrection occurring at the time. The author argues that the rebels were not Cuban patriots, but rather outlaws and bandits, and that the Cuban people, enjoying political freedom and economic prosperity, were against the rebels. The book suggests that the United States should not have favored the rebels, as this would have been an unjust act that would have violated international laws and the obligations imposed upon the US by its treaty with Spain. It concludes by emphasizing that the US should not have sought to dictate to the inhabitants of Cuba what they should have, and concludes that the clamor of a few roving guerilla bands should not weigh more in the estimation of thinking Americans than the quiet and steady pursuit of their business of one million and a half people.
