The Conquest of the Philippines by the United States (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025568294)

"The Conquest of the Philippines by the United States" is a comprehensive historical and political examination of the American acquisition and subsequent administration of the Philippine Islands. Written by Moorefield Storey, a prominent legal scholar and anti-imperialist leader, in collaboration with Marcial P. Lichauco, this work provides a critical perspective on the military and diplomatic actions that defined the turn of the twentieth century in Southeast Asia.

The text meticulously reconstructs the events following the Spanish-American War, detailing the transition from Filipino resistance against Spain to the conflict with American forces. The authors analyze the justifications used by the United States government for expansionism and the ethical dilemmas posed by the imposition of foreign rule over a population seeking independence. By documenting the human and political costs of the Philippine-American War, "The Conquest of the Philippines by the United States" offers an invaluable critique of colonial policy and the tensions between democratic ideals and imperial ambitions.

This work stands as a significant contribution to the study of international relations and remains a vital resource for understanding the historical roots of Filipino-American relations. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of empire, the evolution of anti-imperialist thought, and the geopolitical shifts that shaped the modern world.
