SUGGESTED READING
There is actually a very large amount of material on the Spanish War. To get started we recommend you at least read the following:

The Little War of Private Post By Charles Johnson Post, 1960. Little, Brown & Co. Boston. - the best first-hand account, surprisingly modern.
The Spanish American War of 1898, by Albert Nofi, 1995. Combined Publishers. - art excellent strategic and tactical appraisal.
Frederic Remington and the Spanish-American War, by Douglas Allen, 1971. Crown Pub. New York - the war as a great artist saw it
The Splendid Little War (video) by Belle Grove Pub, 1992. St Joseph. early movies of actual troop going to Cuba, script by Brian Pohanka.
