A brilliant, coherent social and political overview spanning three turbule nt centuries."--San Francisco Chronicle Stanley Karnow won the Pulitzer Prize for this account of America's imperia l experience in the Philippines. In a swiftly paced, brilliantly vivid narr ative, Karnow focuses on the relationship that has existed between the two nations since the United States acquired the country from Spain in 1898, ex amining how we have sought to remake the Philippines "in our image," an exp eriment marked from the outset by blundering, ignorance, and mutual misunde rstanding.
