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.

In The Philippine-American War (1899-1902), you will discover topics such as:

  • Manifest Destiny vs. Self-Determination
  • The Waning Power of Spain
  • An Uneasy Alliance
  • Filipinos Prepare for Independence or War
  • February 4, 1899: War Breaks Out
  • Major Campaigns of the War

  • The War Hits Home

Required reading

My only gripe is proper pronunciations of some Filipino words and places. But I understand it's not exactly the priority.
Still great to hear the story that many have forgotten or never taught.

Should be read by a Filipino

I just believe this book should be read by a Tagalog speaking narrator. He clearly mispronounced many Tagalog words. Other than that, great book.

Well written history of a forgotten conflict

An interesting story with momentous reverberation to recent developments. It is energetically prescribed for any individual who needs to comprehend America's progress on the world stage.

A very descriptive narration

The ideas and thoughts and execution of arranged strategy shed light on how occasions created as they did. Elegantly composed.

Interesting and full of details

There is a lot of information crammed into this audio-book. High structured and precise, every sequence is abandoning the message.

interesting, well written book.

An unmistakable portrayal of the fairly questionable clash. Posting the units and where they were based, and the regions of activity helped pinpoint authentic certainties.

The war from Academic Leftist perspective.

Thorough history from a leftist, politically correct perspective circa 2018. Industrialists, republicans etc are bad.
