America in the Philippines, 1899-1902: The First Torture Scandal
analyzes the US army's use of the 'water cure' torture in the
Philippine War and the ensuing political scandal that resulted.
Drawing on primary source documents to construct a detailed
narrative history of the events, the book also proposes an original
theory for the causes of torture, which emphasizes the moral agency
of low-level actors. Einolf uses the historical debate to
illuminate theories of present-day human rights advocacy. The
conclusion relates the Philippine War case to the more recent use
of torture under the George W. Bush administration and makes
recommendations for researchers and advocates.
