Cuba in War Time

In this book, journalist Richard Harding Davis was sent to Cuba to report on the ongoing war against Spain. At first, Davis took a neutral stance, reporting that both sides of the conflict were acting badly. However, he soon turned against Spain due to Spanish boardings of American ships, which he found to be unjust. Davis' articles played a major role in influencing the United States to become involved in the war, as he passionately condemned Spain's actions. His reporting fueled anti-Spanish sentiments and helped to escalate the conflict.
