• "Philippine-American War" (Wikipedia) or
• "Philippine-America War, 1899-1902" (Arnoldo Dumindin)

• You may also wish to consult Jerry Keenan's Encyclopedia of the Spanish-American & Philippine-American Wars in the HSU Library

• Sadly, the invaluable and exhaustive websites of Syracuse University Professor Jim Zwick have vanished with his untimely death in 2008. One of the best, Sentenaryo/Centennial: The Philippine Revolution and Philippine-American War, included a vast collection of stereoscopic images from the Spanish-American war and the Philippine revolution. Let's hope his heirs and/or students will one day recreate the sites. In the meantime, however, we'll make do with the following:
• The Philippine Revolution page of the online exhibit, "The Spanish-American War in Motion Pictures," part of the Library of Congress's "American Memory" site (a fascinating collection of U.S. government propaganda films and other contemporary images from the 1890s)
• "American Memory" also features a separate, extremely informative, and well-designed page devoted to The Philippines as part of its exhibit on The World of 1898: The Spanish-American War Home Page (which, as its title indicates, provides crucial background and context for understanding American imperial expansion into the Caribbean and the Pacific)
• The New York Public Library's "A War in Perspective, 1898-1998: Public Appeals, Memory, and the Spanish-American Conflict" also gathers materials in several mediums, as does PBS's "Crucible of Empire: The Spanish-American War."
• Finally, Paul Kramer's "A Useful Corner of the World: Guantànamo" (The New Yorker's "News Desk" blog, 31 July 2013) examines the lingering repercussions of the beginnings of American imperialism.
