Produktbeschreibung

An emotional and evocative portrayal of the Balangiga massacre of American soldiers, an almost forgotten chapter of the Philippine-American War. At the peak of the brutal retribution, a campaign to turn the interior of Samar into a 'howling wilderness,' tortures, and executions of oppressed people plagued with ambivalence, duplicity, and indecision, shook the conscience of America that led to the court-martial of a General and a Major. Like ghosts, feelings of guilt and shame come back to haunt. Ideologies would not compromise but for the common good.
