Captivating history enlightens the listeners.

This is a listening that is short but bringing a bunch of information. It has features that you might not have learned before.

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.

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.

Great Nee Information!!!

There is a lot of information packed into this audiobook. High structured and precise, every string is delivering the message.

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, 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 conduct of Americans forces in the country

My grandfather served in this war, refused to be baptized during his lifetime. Wonder why!

Good story, poorly written

I struggled to finish. I didn't have an issue with the anti-American perspective as much of it was deserved. However, that seemed to dominate the book and took away from the overall story. The book had some historical errors and some conjectures that were stated as fact. Additionally, the book failed to provide much detail on the economic motivations for the US taking over the Philippines. When facts were disputed in the book, the author failed to provide primary document evidence from both sides. Just not a well-written historical account.
