“The Spanish-Cuban-American War” Lecture Series [March 14th, March 16th, March 21st, March 23rd]
Join me for this four part exploration into how our nearest international neighbor became an independent nation, including the extended, crucial role America played in that effort, and how what happened then still affects the world today. It is the story of the United States of America becoming a global power as it took on new responsibilities and challenges which would last for the next one hundred-twenty years. This look at the Spanish-American War focuses on its Caribbean theater of operations, and, as a bonus, it will offer insight for my readers on the subject matter of my newest novel, An Honorable War, the 13th in my Honor Series of action packed thrillers.
PART 2 ~ The American Invasion Of Cuba: From the destruction of the USS Maine to the mobilization of America’s military might, the beginning of the Spanish-Cuban-American War did not unfold the way the press, the government, or the military anticipated. And once the “Yanquis” landed on the island, things got worse. This is the fascinating, and cautionary, story of the beginning phase of the American invasion of Cuba.
