Honor for the Flag: The Battle of Bud Dajo - 1906 & The Moro Massacre

Robert A. Fulton

4.9/5 (16460 ratings)

Description:The Battle of Bud Dajo, which took place March 5-8, 1906, pitted the U.S. Army. U.S. Navy, and the Philippine Constabulary against 800-1,000 dissident Muslims holed up on the top of a rugged, 2,175 feet high dormant volcano on the island of Jolo in the southern Philippine Islands. Beginning as a genuine military contest, somehow it ended as a tragic and terrible, one-sided massacre, with no more than a small and pitiful handful of the Muslims left alive. Although lesser known, it ranks beside such infamous names as “Sand Creek” (1864), Wounded Knee” (1890), and “My Lai” (1968)as being one of the darkest, bloodiest, and most controversial episodes in America’s long and troubled history of deadly encounters with indigenous peoples. More than just a straightforward account of the spectacular fight on the mountain, it is also a story of a second and equally vicious donnybrook that took place within the nations’ press and on the floor of Congress to define the narrative of what had actually happened on that remote field of battle and why. At stake were the careers of the nation’s most well known soldier and a future President and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, as well as the reputation a popular President, Theodore Roosevelt. But there is also a mystery here. The real story of what happened remained buried for another century. Why? If the real facts had come to light shortly after the battle, would it have mattered? Might it have made an impact on the course of American history? Is there a lesson that can be taken away here, or at least a cautionary tale?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
