Cuba in War Time

The Forerunners series, celebrating ten years of Columbia Global Reports, resurrects pivotal works of investigative journalism from a century ago, underscoring the enduring relevance of fearless reporting and global analysis. Among these is Richard Harding Davis's Cuba in War Time, published in 1897, which immerses readers in the urgent realities of the battlefield through vivid dispatches that galvanized public support for the Spanish-American War. This edition, introduced by noted war reporter Peter Maass, invites reflection on Davis's complex legacy and the profound impact journalism can exert on historical narratives and public perception.
