On a peaceful night in Havana Harbor, the U.S.S. Maine rests at anchor. Then America's most powerful battleship suddenly explodes, and the Spanish American War has begun... "Remember the Maine" was the battle cry that sent thousands of American soldiers on the adventure of a lifetime... war with Spain in Cuba. But for the soldiers who would face a barrage of Spanish gunfire, it would be a war like none other. A novel of men and women thrust into the heart of war. This is the saga of a nation doing battle for the first time since it's own Civil War, on a hot, exotic island where glory would only be earned in blood.
