Description
The people of the Philippine Islands during the early half of the twentieth century experienced various waves of Western Imperialism, two wars of attempted secession from Western powers, and two world wars. And yet, the Philippine Islands and its people have received only small subheadings in many American textbooks and histories. The wartime experiences from the perspectives of the Philippine people have gone unnoticed and have become overshadowed by the socio-political dominating legacy of American figures. This book showed how these heroes fought for survival and freedom and fought for others in those horrible times. It's a short but well-written book, full of captivating images that helped a lot to connect to the history and to the people in the book. The book showed the history through the locals' eyes and those who fought for the land, and how they had to survive and what they needed to do, in order to overcome the horrors of the war.
