"A brilliant, coherent social and political overview spanning three turbulent centuries."--San Francisco Chronicle Stanley Karnow won the Pulitzer Prize for this account of America's 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 Globe "A page-turning story and authoritative history."--The New York Times "Perhaps the best journalist writing on Asian affairs."--Newsweek… (meer)

nonfiction (history of the Phillipines). this guy uses a lot of esoteric vocabulary! I think my brain stretched, just a little; I wasn't able to absorb as much of it as other people might, but you have to start somewhere. (

Revisionist history that makes widely reactionary conclusions without much backing, such as the assertion that Filipinos "submitted voluntarily to their own exploitation" and the imperialist beliefs that the Philippines would not have formed its own infrastructure had it not been for American intervention.

For more specifics, see Peter Tarr's review in The Nation and various scholarship by E. San Juan Jr. (

Unlike Wm. Manchester; Karnow really dislikes Douglas MacArthur. Very good book of the History of the Philippines from the spanish to the 1980s
Once again(should I say as always) the U.S. goes plowing in insulting the local culture and the native population. Us Americans must be very slow learners (

2356 In Our Image: America's Empire in the Philippines, by Stanley Karnow (read 6 Feb 1991) (Pulitzer History prize in 1990) This is a journalistic history of the Philippines and I found it absorbing reading. I guess I somehow had not realized how gruesome our "conquest" of the country was, and I found the account of the time since then, while more or less familiar, well worth reading. It is a problem country and Corey Aquino is probably not going to accomplish much. The Marcos years were an awful waste. The Filipinos have not been converted to American political probity, that's for sure. (
