SUGGESTED READING

There is actually a very large amount of material on the Spanish War. To get started we recommend you at least read the following (as a service to the reader, clicking on the titles in red will take you to that book on Amazon.com):

The Splendid Little War, Frank Freidel, Little, Brown, 1958.
Great photos & maps, perhaps the best place to start.

The Little War of Private Post, Charles Johnson Post, Little Brown, 1960.
The best first hand account, surprisingly modern.

The Spanish War : An American Epic--1898, G.J.A. O'Toole, W.W. Norton, 1984.

Frederic Remington and the Spanish-American War, Douglas Allen, Crown, 1971.
The war as a great artist saw it.
