El Desastre del 98 y el fin del Imperio español

Commendable is the clear and orthodox writing, undoubtedly the fruit of the maturity of the author and the elegant style that makes it easy to read. And the sources used are particularly excellent, and we should be congratulated because the author has made exhaustive use of Admiral Cervera's archive, which will undoubtedly be a very substantial contribution to those who in the future approach the tragic events of July 1898. Fernando Puell de la Villa. President of the Spanish Association of Military History (ASEHISMI). The result of this work is a clear and historically rigorous narration of those events and not just the vindication of a key figure in a tragedy that, despite sensing it, he faced with honor, courage, discipline and loyalty. Pedro García de Paredes Pérez of Seville. Rear Admiral (R) of the Spanish Navy. The book is of undoubted value for historians, with an exhaustive analysis of our nation in 1898, of Spain's foreign policy, national interests, the economy, the naval industry, the state of the Navy and the heroic way our drill squad got lost. Juan Escrigas Rodríguez. Captain of the Spanish Navy and Doctor in Contemporary History.
