(The following review is by Rubén Sálaz Márquez: This book is a good introduction to the role of Spain in achieving American independence. After the use of “Observers” in the title is explained, Cummins shows that Spain, its money, diplomats, and soldiers were an integral factor of George Washington’s final victory at Yorktown.)
