Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the true story of a small group of Spanish soldiers who were besieged in the town of Baler, in the Philippines, during the last days of Spanish rule. The siege lasted for eleven months, and the soldiers faced incredible hardship and suffering, including hunger, disease, and constant attacks from the Filipino rebels. The book recounts the events of the siege through the eyes of Lieutenant Martin Cerezo, the only officer who survived. The siege of Baler is a remarkable story of human endurance and courage, and it stands as a testament to the tenacity of the Spanish military in the face of overwhelming odds. The story is told with a clear-eyed honesty, devoid of romanticization, and reveals the complexities of the conflict between the Spanish and the Filipinos. The author's intimate, firsthand account brings to life the desperate struggle for survival, the camaraderie of the soldiers, and the moral and psychological toll of a relentless war. The book provides a unique perspective on the Spanish-American War, revealing the struggles of individual soldiers caught in the midst of a larger political conflict.
