Publisher's Synopsis
""A Dream of Conquest"" is a historical novel written by Lloyd Bryce and published in 1889. The story takes place in the late 19th century and follows the adventures of a young American journalist named John Delancy, who is sent to Cuba to report on the ongoing conflict between the Spanish colonial authorities and the Cuban rebels. Delancy becomes deeply involved in the struggle for Cuban independence and falls in love with a beautiful Cuban woman named Mercedes. As he witnesses the brutality of the Spanish regime and the courage of the Cuban rebels, Delancy becomes increasingly convinced that the United States should intervene on behalf of the Cuban people. The novel is a powerful indictment of colonialism and a passionate plea for American support of Cuban independence. It is also a thrilling adventure story filled with romance, danger, and political intrigue. Bryce's vivid descriptions of the Cuban landscape and the horrors of war make ""A Dream of Conquest"" a compelling read for anyone interested in history, politics, or adventure fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
