A brilliant, coherent social and political overview spanning three turbulent centuries.-San Francisco ChronicleStanley Karnow won the Pulitzer Prize for this account of Americas imperial experience in the Philippines. In a swiftly paced, brilliantly vivid narrative, Karnow focuses on the relationship that has existed between the two nations since the United States acquired the country from Spain in 1898, examining how we have sought to remake the Philippines in our image, an experiment marked from the outset by blundering, ignorance, and mutual misunderstanding.Stanley Karnow has written the ultimate book-brilliant, panoramic, engrossing-about American behavior overseas in the twentieth century.-The Boston Sunday GlobeA page-turning story and authoritative history.-The New York TimesPerhaps the best journalist writing on Asian affairs.-Newsweek
