Summary:
"As war raged on the distant island of Cuba in 1895, the Spanish government increasingly sent young men to the Caribbean to suppress a rebellion that had been joined by anarchists in Cuba, Florida, and New York. For Cuban nationalists who represented propertied interests, this was a war to liberate Cuba and become an independent, capitalist, Catholic country. For the anarchists who joined the rebellion, this was an anti-colonial social revolution that would liberate Cuba from Spanish tyranny, create decentralized control, abolish capitalism, and destroy clerical influences"-- Provided by publisher.
