This book provides a critical analysis of Donald Trump's mention of
General Pershing and his alleged use of bullets dipped in pig's
blood to kill 49 out of 50 captured Muslims during the suppression
years in the Philippines. The author argues that most observers who
heard this "fable" dismissed it as an inaccurate representation of
historical realities that also maligned a great general. Using
critiques of both Trump and "post-truths," the author argues that
instead of being summarily dismissive of these comments, academics,
investigative journalists and others ought to follow the US
president's admonition that we study "history," but do so in
nuanced ways. The author argues that there are times when false
renditions of historical events may in fact provide opportunities
to revisit contentious pasts, and this book suggests that in place
of sanitized military histories, we take this opportunity to
provide detailed analyses of the "Moro" rebellion.
