Book Review

Encuentro en 1898: Tres pueblos y cuatro hombres; España-Cuba–Estados Unidos; Cervera-Roosevelt–Calixto García–Juan Gualberto Gómez (Encounter in 1898: Three towns and four men; Spain, Cuba, United States; Cervera-Roosevelt–Calixto García–Juan Gualberto Gómez). By Jorge Castellanos. (Miami: Ediciones Universal, 2006. 525 pp. Paper, $39.95, ISBN 978-1-59388-072-9.) In Spanish.
The events of 1898 have been the subject of numerous studies. Historians of the sites of conflict, of the powers involved, and of countries with interests in the conflict or that were in some way influenced by it, have produced an abundant historiography that is difficult to get a handle on in its entirety. Jorge Castellanos's book enriches that historiography.	1
The text is structured around three historical figures who were present at both the naval and land battles at Santiago de Cuba: Pascual Cervera, Theodore Roosevelt, and Calixto García. The story follows another Cuban, Juan Gualberto Gómez, until the imposition of the Platt Amendment. The circumstances of the three countries being analyzed are revealed through those figures. This is an interesting comparative study of three different realities that were connected by the important events at the end of the nineteenth century.	. . .
