Więcej o książce

Set against the backdrop of the early twentieth century, the book explores the U.S. Army's occupation of Manila and its decade-long campaign to suppress Filipino revolutionaries. Utilizing advanced technology from the information revolution, the American colonial regime established modern police and intelligence units that effectively stifled dissent. The narrative reveals how U.S. interventions, framed as efforts to promote democracy, often resulted in the entrenchment of oppressive forces, shaping the Philippines' political landscape for decades to come.
