At war against the Spanish in Cuba
This well-known book concerns the United States flexing of its
imperial muscle as it expelled the Spanish from Cuba at the close
of the nineteenth century. This little campaign, one of the
earliest in which American soldiers fought beyond their own
frontiers, has entered into American legend particularly as an
American President, Theodore Roosevelt won mythic fame as he and
his 'Rough Riders' stormed San Juan (Kettle) Hill. Indeed, the
Gatlings supported the 'Rough Riders' in their attack and Roosevelt
has provided the preface for Parker's book. This book was written
by the battery commander and is amply complimented by photographs
of the campaign taken by a member of the detachment. Although this
book concerns the doings of the US Fifth Army Corps during the
Santiago campaign it retains the essential intimacy of a unit
history, is filled with immediate detail and as such has become a
classic of its period.
