Title: A must read for all Filipinos and Asians
Product review: I am a 27-year-old Filipino today, and I was only a two-year-old toddler when this book was published in 1978. But just a mere six days of reading this book in December 2003 provided more than enough chunks of knowledge about Philippine history during the Second World War than from what I learned about it in 16 long years of elementary and even college education.Manchester's historical masterpiece 'American Caesar' should be a must-read in all scholastic institutions in the Philippines, at least. Sadly, like most Filipinos my age, I only learned about the real importance of Gen. Douglas MacArthur after reading this valuable work of history. The Japanese and other Asians touched by the values that MacArthur imparted almost 60 years ago are perhaps luckier to have recognized the teachings of the great American general.
