| Summary | "Campaigning in Cuba" by George Kennan is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the experiences of Kennan as a war correspondent during the Spanish-American War, particularly focusing on the U.S. military operations in Cuba. It offers insight into the dynamics of war, humanitarian efforts, and the vivid landscapes of the Cuban coast. The opening of "Campaigning in Cuba" introduces readers to the immediate context of the Spanish-American War, which began in April 1898. Kennan describes his journey to Cuba aboard the Red Cross steamer "State of Texas", commissioned to report on the war under the guidance of Clara Barton. Through his observations in Tampa and Key West, he conveys a sense of the excitement and chaos surrounding the military preparations, the contrasts between the beauty of the southern scenery and the grim realities of conflict, and the earnest humanitarian efforts of the Red Cross to aid starving Cuban civilians. As he navigates the complexities of military logistics and the personalities involved, readers are drawn into the unfolding narrative of a pivotal moment in American history.
