About This Book

A comprehensive, document-based account of the islands under new administration that scrutinizes allegations about promised independence and evaluates insurgent collaboration and governance across regions. It reconstructs military actions and political debate, assesses wartime conduct, and describes the creation of civil institutions including commissions, the civil service, constabulary, and the judiciary. Subsequent chapters treat public-health campaigns, social and infrastructural improvements such as roads and mountain settlements, education and scientific coordination, and argue that these measures produced greater peace, order, and material development.

Crone, beside a field of corn raised by Emilio Aguinaldo, Jr., in a school contest, typifies the peace, prosperity, and enlightenment which have been brought about in the Philippine Islands under American rule.
