«Yo pondré la guerra» is the historical essay by Manuel Leguineche, published by El País Aguilar in paperback (310 pages, in Spanish).
Manuel Leguineche approaches the 1898 Cuban War as a media conflict: the American press, led by William Randolph Hearst and rivaling Joseph Pulitzer, invented a war where there was barely any news. It also covers the experience of the first war correspondents and the abandonment of Spanish soldiers in Cuba.
Published in October 1998, the volume includes black-and-white photographs in plates outside the text and journalistic articles.
Recommended for readers interested in the history of Cuba, journalism, and the origins of yellow journalism.
