About this listen

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

I agree with many other reviewers that this is an informative book and that the author has done his homework. However, a combination of form and structure of the material makes it incredibly dull to listen.
This is a book for those who are interested in the topic, not for the casual follower.

Good but boring style.
