The Rise and Fall of the US Imperial Dream in the Philippines

VIEW EVENT DETAILS  

Authors on Asia

Join Pulitzer Prize-finalist Gregg Jones as he shares the remarkable story of America's drive for an overseas empire on the eve of the 20th century, and the brutal realities for those living under foreign domination.

His latest book, Honor in the Dust, describes a pivotal moment in U.S. history. Similar to the divided feelings the American people have today over U.S. intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, Jones’s book examines the U.S. conquest of the Philippines — examining the critical election of 1900, when Americans weighed economic concerns against a divisive overseas war, and recalling the United States' dramatic rise as a world power and the cast of forgotten characters behind it.
