{"product_id":"fagen-michael-morey-9780299319441","title":"Fagen: An African American Renegade in the Philippine-American War","description":"In 1898, during an era of racial terror at home and imperial conquest abroad, the United States sent troops to suppress the Filipino struggle for independence. The deployment included three regiments of the famed African American \"Buffalo Soldiers.\" Among them was David Fagen, a twenty-year-old private in the Twenty-Fourth Infantry, who achieved notoriety after deserting to join the Filipino guerrillas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The outlines of Fagen's legend have been known for more than a century, but the details of his military achievements, his personal history, and his ultimate fate have remained a mystery--until now. Michael Morey tracks Fagen's life from his youth in Tampa as a laborer in a phosphate camp through his troubled sixteen months in the army, and, most importantly, over his long-obscured career as a guerrilla officer. Morey places Fagen's life in its larger military, political, and social context, to tell the story of the young renegade whose courage and defiance challenged the supremacist assumptions of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Morey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 029931944X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299319441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Michael Morey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47136097370367,"sku":"9780299319441","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c31e6998-e7d5-4619-962f-1bbd63f4a9a6.jpg?v=1755022337","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fagen-michael-morey-9780299319441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
