The first part is an excellent account of the Cuban war of independence from the point of view of an American volunteer in the Cuban Army during a time when American intervention was limited to individual participation. It is also an example of a warrior learning his craft from the "trench up." The second part moves from Cuba, before the Spanish American War, to the Phillipines, post victory over Spain. We have the islands and the natives would rather we leave, the setting for a conflict between US Forces and the Filipino natives. We follow Funston's role in the war as commanding officer of a Kansas milita regiment to his ultimate capture of the Filipine leader by means of a ruse. After reading this book you can see why his susequent career in the US Army was so successful.
