About This Item
Lawrence, Ks: University Press of Kansas, 2000. Book. Near Fine. Soft cover. 5th or later Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Near Fine Soft Cover. The Previous Owner's Name And Date Neatly On Top Of Half-Title Page. 427 Pages Including Notes, Bibliography And Index. N The First Comprehensive Study In Over Six Decades, Linn Provides A Definitive Treatment Of Military Operations In The Philippines. From The Pitched Battles Of The Early War To The Final Campaigns Against Guerrillas, Linn Traces The Entire Course Of The Conflict. More Than An Overview Of Filipino Resistance And American Pacification, This Is A Detailed Study Of The Fighting In The "Boondocks." In Addition To Presenting A Detailed Military History Of The War, Linn Challenges Previous Interpretations. Rather Than Being A Clash Of Armies Or Societies, The War Was A Series Of Regional Struggles That Differed Greatly From Island To Island. By Shifting Away From The Narrow Focus On One Or Two Provinces To Encompass The Entire Archipelago, Linn Offers A More Thorough Understanding Of The Entire War. Linn Also Dispels Many Of The Misunderstandings And Historical Inaccuracies Surrounding The Philippine War. He Repudiates The Commonly Held View Of American Soldiers "Civilizing With A Krag" And Clarifies Such Controversial Incidents As The Balangiga Massacre And The Waller Affair. Exhaustively Researched And Engagingly Written, The Philippine War Will Become The Standard Reference On America's Forgotten Conflict And A Major Contribution To The Study Of Guerrilla Warfare.
