President Trump and General Pershing

The book critically examines Donald Trump's reference to General Pershing's alleged brutal tactics during the Philippine-American War, challenging the historical accuracy of this narrative. It contends that such "fables" distort historical realities and tarnish the legacy of a significant military figure. The author advocates for a nuanced approach to history, encouraging scholars and journalists to explore contentious pasts rather than dismissing falsehoods outright. This work aims to foster detailed analyses of the Moro rebellion, moving beyond sanitized military accounts.
