Publisher's Summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Philippine-American War between 1899-1902, then pay attention...

The Philippine-American War of 1899-1902 was a dramatic, world-changing conflict that shaped the century to come and revealed the early stirrings of America’s drive for global power. The conflict and its aftershocks continue to influence the Philippines and the wider region to this day, leaving a legacy of governance, society, and economic organization.

The Philippines today is an important American ally and a counterbalance to the growing Chinese power in South Asia, but the history between the United States and the Philippines has not always been as friendly as some may imagine. In fact, American-Filipino history is soaked in blood and defined by brutal, devastating combat.

Real History

Outstanding book on this not so much discussed piece of history. It focuses on Americas first real test of “Manifest Destiny” and is a spectre on the lessons not learned on, what may argue, US foreign policy since Vietnam. A very good listen for those who love military history.
