Face of Empire: United States-Philippine Relations, 1898—1946

The riveting historical account follows McKinley's administration through Philippine independence. In the moving final passage of this work, Golay concludes that the US, a country he dearly loved, had betrayed its own well-intentioned effort at colonial development by dictating dishonorable terms of independence on an infant republic.
