<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It has been termed an insurgency, a revolution, a guerrilla war, and a conventional war. As David J. Silbey demonstrates in this taut, compelling history, the 1899 Philippine-American War was in fact all of these. Played out over three distinct conflicts--one fought between the Spanish and the allied United States and Filipino forces; one fought between the United States and the Philippine Army of Liberation; and one fought between occupying American troops and an insurgent alliance of often divided Filipinos--the war marked America's first steps as a global power and produced a wealth of lessons learned and forgotten. </p><p>First-rate military history, <i>A War of Frontier and Empire </i>retells an often forgotten chapter in America's past, infusing it with commanding contemporary relevance.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A timely, deft reexamination...
