Welcome to the first series of Season 2, the Philippine-American War of 1899-1902 (or 1913)! This is my big source post, where I document all the sources big and small that I used in this series. Since I'm still writing some of this, I'm probably going to add to a little bit as time goes on, but them's the breaks.
I go into this a little bit in my Introductory Episode, but if I were to recommend any one book about the Philippine-American War, it would be David J. Silbey's A War of Frontier and Empire: The Philippine-American War, 1899-1902. It's relatively short and doesn't have all the detail I would like, but it's very good as a balanced introduction. The best academic history of the war is Brian McAllister Linn's The Philippine War, though it can be a bit dry and weighty for a lot of people's tastes. For a good journalist account of the US-Philippine relationship, including a *decent* account of the conflict, Stanley Karnow's In Our Image is pretty easy to find and works pretty well.
