It is through these stories that the American enterprise in the Philippines is commemorated. Arranged chronologically, beginning with veterans who recall the naval victory over the Spanish at Manila Bay in 1898 and continuing to the conventional and guerrilla wars with the Filipinos, the stories remember the major campaigns of 1899 and 1900, the blockade duties, and life in provincial garrisons. Finally, the lengthy (1899-1913) and often violent military governance in Moroland--the Muslim areas of Mindanao--is considered. Within these historical stages, Forgotten under a Tropical Sun looks at how the writers address incidents and issues, including accounts of well-known and minor engagements, descriptions of atrocities committed by both sides, and the effect on troop morale of the anti-imperialist movement in the United States."--Provided by publisher. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 650 0 Veterans |zPhilippines |vBiography. |=^A13981 650 0 Veterans |zUnited States |vBiography. |=^A587312 650 0 Soldiers' writings, American. |=^A162355 651 0 Philippines |xHistory |yPhilippine American War, 1899-1902 |vPersonal narratives, American. |=^A438972 651 0 Mindanao Island (Philippines) |xHistory |xAutonomy and independence movements |vPersonal narratives, American. |=^A1022972 651 0 Philippines |xHistory, Military |y19th century. |=^A93350 651 0 Philippines |xHistory, Military |y20th century. |=^A93350 655 0 Electronic books. |=^A491897 856 40 |zFull text available from Ebook Central - Academic Complete |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/eastcarolina/detail.action?docID=5064316 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJOYNER188 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hHSL77 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJMUSIC60 596 1 3 4 998 5026880
