DVD Reviews of Crucible of Empire: The Spanish American War
DVD Review: Nice Reminder of War Many Have Forgotten
Summary: 3 Stars
My guess is that many of us Americans remember the Civil War and the World Wars, but many of us may have forgotten a war from approximately 110 years ago. We know of Fidel, but some do not know about American dynamics regarding Cuba before him. As the US is currently in a foreign war, this documentary reminds the viewer of another foreign war and perhaps we can learn lessons or make connections between the two.
This work had diverse interviewees: men and women, Americans and foreigners, Blacks, whites, Latinos, and Asians. What little that I read of "Fighting for American Manhood" was very strong and informative, so I was glad to see its author, Dr. K, Hoganson, interviewed for this work.
This work may be great for African-American Studies classes as well. The US sent Blacks to Cuba thinking they could deal with tropical environments better. Just like in the Vietnam War, Black and white soldiers were fighting each other just as much as with the foreign opponent. Black newspapers, just like in World War II, asked, "Why should we fight injustic abroad when no one is helping us seek justice here?" The stupidest thing is that many Americans of the majority background had no idea how many Cubans were Black.
I'm not a hawk in the slightest, but if you are going to watch a documentary on a war, you might as well see this one.
