The so-called 'Battle of Bud Dajo' was hailed as a triumph over an implacable band of dangerous savages, a "brilliant feat of arms" according to President Theodore Roosevelt. Some contemporaries, including W.E.B. Du Bois and Mark Twain, saw the massacre for what it was, but they were the exception and the U.S. military authorities successfully managed to bury the story. Despite the fact that the slaughter of Moros had been captured on camera, the memory of the massacre soon disappeared from the historical record. In Massacre in the Clouds, Kim A. Wagner meticulously recovers the history of a forgotten atrocity and the remarkable photograph that exposed its grim logic. His vivid, unsparing account of the massacre-which claimed hundreds more lives than Wounded Knee and My Lai combined-reveals the extent to which practices of colonial warfare and violence, derived from European imperialism, were fully embraced by Americans with catastrophic results."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Mount Dajo, Battle of, Philippines, 1906 $x Atrocities. 650 0 $a Muslims $z Philippines $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Philippines $x History $y 20th century. $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History, Military $y 20th century. 941 $a 2 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20240712012945.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20240704010705.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C798731E39CA11EFB1F0D68530ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
