Background

For those who are interested in knowing the past - this is an excellent website in the depth of information - the maps - the photos - and its hard look at the historical details of the war in the Philippines. If you understand how our counter-insurgency was waged there - using General Orders still standing from the Civil War and COIN efforts waged in the border states - and the thinking of the leaders at that time - it gives you a better perspective. This is also a great site to pull specifics of unit histories as well for those regiments that fought in the war.
