The works of the distinguished American historian Barbara Tuchman have been a great inspiration in writing this book. The Spanish contribution to the independence of the United States is considered in Spain like essential. Its researchers have studied this contribution extensively, from its logistical and financial aspects to its military dimension. General Bernardo de Galvez, then governor of Louisiana, stands out for his campaigns against British in the Mississippi Valley, capturing Baton Rouge, Natchez, and Mobile. His most significant victory was the Battle of Pensacola (1781). A portrait of Galvez hangs in the US Senate as a reminder of his contribution to independence. The city of Galveston, Texas, is named in his honor. A century later, in 1898, the Spanish-American War broke out. Cause: the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana, Cuba, attributed to a Spanish sabotage. Spain governed Cuba since the 16th century. In 1976, Admiral Rickover's book How the Battleship Maine was Destroyed proved that the sinking of the USS Maine was not caused by Spanish sabotage. Before Spanish-American War, Spain was severely weakened as it found itself at a crossroads where uncertainty and chaos wove nation's destiny. The Navy Yard known as Arsenal of La Carraca witnessed an epic struggle. The roar of cannons and the cries of men shattered the silence of the bay. Cantonal and government forces clashed in a battle that would shake the very foundations of a country teetering on the brink of the abyss. .
