"The American Occupation of the Philippines 1898-1912" by James H. Blount is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the dynamics between the United States and the Philippines during the period of American occupation, focusing on events surrounding the Philippine struggle for freedom following the Spanish-American War. Blount, who served as both a military officer and a district judge in the Philippines, offers an insider's perspective on the complex issues of colonialism and the legitimacy of American actions in the region." "At the start of the work, Blount introduces his experiences in the Philippines during the American invasion, detailing the circumstances leading to the U.S. naval victory at Manila Bay and the involvement of Filipino revolutionary leader Emilio Aguinaldo. Blount reflects on the initial hopes of the Filipinos for independence, fueled by their cooperation with American forces, and sets the stage for the unfolding narrative of deceit and disillusionment as the intention for American control becomes clear. He emphasizes the ramifications of broken promises between the U.S. and the Filipinos, providing a critical view on American imperialism and its impact on the aspirations for freedom among the Filipino people."
