2006 Scholar's Bookshelf reprint edition of Sargent's three-volume 1914 publication detailed his experiences as a captain in the U.S. Army in the Spanish-American War and provided a perceptive and frequently first-hand narrative history of the Cuban Insurrection, the declaration of war, the Caribbean blockades, and especially the siege and capitulation of Santiago de Cuba. The work includes many fold-out maps, the texts of many orders and letters and other documents, and an excellent, detailed and authoritative account of how the war was managed. It concludes with a perceptive chapter on the changes in military art that marked the war, the military policy of the United States, and the combined and separate roles of the Army and Navy.
