Uncle Sam's Boys in the Philippines; Or, Following the Flag Against the Moros
Uncle Sam's Boys in the Philippines; Or, Following the Flag Against the Moros
1902. The Philippine-American War grinds on, and two young sergeants from the American army find themselves stationed in Manila, a city of sweltering heat, winding canals, and secrets. Hal Overton and Noll Terry are eager for adventure, hungry to prove themselves as they wander through markets and waterfronts, marveling at a culture far from their Kansas or Massachusetts homes. When a charming Filipino dandy named Vicente Tomba inserts himself into their circle, his friendliness feels too eager, his questions too pointed. Is he a harmless curiosity seeker or something more dangerous? As the tropical storm season breaks over the islands, the young soldiers discover that the real enemy may not always wear the uniform you'd expect. Here is adventure fiction in its early twentieth-century form: raw, energetic, and steeped in the assumptions of its era. For readers who want to feel the heat and danger of empire through the eyes of boys who never stopped being boys.
