%X With the exception of Dominican Generalissimo Máximo Gómez, no other
foreign-born hero of Cuba’s War for Independence is so admired and beloved by Cubans as
Major General Carlos Roloff Mialofsky, «The Polish "Mambí”». This article examines Roloff’s
activities in the United States, organizing Cuban expatriates prior to and during the War of
Independence (1895-1898). Emphasis is placed on Roloff’s penchant for organization, his
leadership, and his mastery of deceit in coordinating expeditions in the United States right
under the noses of American authorities and Spanish agents. «The Polish "Mambí’s"» efforts
in the United States were major factors in securing Cuba’s freedom.
