A sweeping history of America's long and fateful military
relationship with the Philippines, amid a century of Pacific
warfareEver since US troops occupied the Philippines in 1898,
generations of Filipinos have served in and alongside the US armed
forces. In Bound by War, historian Christopher Capozzola reveals
this forgotten history, showing how war and military service forged
an enduring, yet fraught, alliance between Americans and
Filipinos.As the US military expanded in Asia, American forces
confronted their Pacific rivals from Philippine bases. And from the
colonial-era Philippine Scouts to post-9/11 contractors in Iraq and
Afghanistan, Filipinos were crucial partners in the exercise of US
power. Their service reshaped Philippine society and politics and
brought thousands of Filipinos to America. Telling the epic story
of a century of conflict and migration, Bound by War is a fresh,
definitive portrait of this uneven partnership and the two nations
it transformed.
