History: Spanish American War: Leandro Fullon Bibiographic resources Linn, Brian McAllister (2000). The Philippine War, 1899-1902. Lawrence, Kansas: Kansas University Press. pp. 65-87, 241-255. ". . . 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." Gates, John M. (in progress). The U.S. Army and Irregular Warfare. ch. 3. http://www.wooster.edu/history/jgates/book-ch3.html "As important as the conflict was, however, it has long remained one of the least understood wars in American history. In most history texts, the war is given only a few brief paragraphs, commonly treated as an appendage of the Spanish-American War rather than an event with its own significance . . . Much earlier, in 1906 and in 1908, William Howard Taft had quashed John R. M. Taylor's attempt to publish an officially sponsored history of the war, along with translations of a number of documents captured from the Filipino revolutionaries, because he thought that Taylor's work might alienate people in both the Philippines and the United States." |
