Very good historical fiction with much detail about the Spanish-American War in Cuba. Signed by author on the title page. Strange central character, Elijah Wolf, "is a Seneca Indian, in whose veins also flows the blood of a samurai warrior. . . . Fluent in Spanish, and chosen personally by Theodore Roosevelt, Wolf goes to Cuba, where . . . he will call upon the Manitous to guide him, and use the teachings of Musashi and Sun Tzu to help the ill-organized and poorly equipped American force to achieve victory." Not as contrived as it may seem. Suspect this may become the first in a series of Elijah Wood novels. Tight binding. Clean pages. Never read. Just like it came from the bookstore. See accompanying scanned image.
