ABOUT THE BOOK: The Philippine-American War is a neglected and often ignored episode in Philippine history. The conflict is a victim of a collective amnesia, consigning it to the dustbin of history. The conflict is a victim of collective amnesia, consigning it to the dustbin of history. This book traces the roots of the conflict and how the vested interests in American society coalesced to mold the foreign policy of the United States into annexing the Philippines as an American colony.
The American occupation of Manila witnessed mounting tension and provocations by Filipino and American troops who were positioned in proximity to each other, culminating in the rapture of hostilities. The circumstances behind the first shot that triggered the Philippine-American War are narrated in this book together with the fighting that ensued north, east, and south of Manila. This attempts to present the war from the perspectives of Filipinos.
