This story is an account of the Santiago, Cuba, land campaign of
the Spanish-American War, as conducted by General William R.
Shafter's Fifth Army Corps. The narrative is based on firsthand
information gathered from handwritten diaries, memoirs, and
regimental and company histories of the men who participated in the
campaign. These chronicles of frontline action paint an entirely
different picture of what has been called "The Splendid Little
War." The opponent, far from being the cowardly Spanish soldier of
myth, is revealed to be a courageous, resourceful foe. Furthermore,
the attack on the outer defenses of Santiago was totally mismanaged
by William Shafter, the American General in command, and his
incompetent staff. Only the U.S. Navy's victory over the Spanish
squadron on July 3, 1898, rescued the army from disaster.
