| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "Using a diary to enrich history is one of the most effective ways to bring life to the past. Dennis Edward Flake does that in retelling the story of the Philippine war for independence against the United States. Through the pen of Private John Henry Asendorf of the Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers, we learn new things about the war: how crucial the weather was to American soldiers sent to our country; the more pleasant aspects of their stay (alongside the already known problems of disease and wounds from the battlefield); the tenacity of Filipino forces fighting for our freedom; and the quiet debates among the American rank-and-file about U.S. imperial intentions in the Philippines... - Dr. Maria Serena I. Diokno"
