Historia5 out of 5 stars 7
During the first 15 years of colonial rule (1898–1913), a small group of Americans controlled the headhunting tribes who were wards of the nascent colonial government. These officials ignored laws, carved out fiefdoms, and brutalized (or killed) those who challenged their rule. John Early was cut from a different cloth. Battling colleagues and supervisors over their treatment of the mountain people, Early also had run-ins with lowland Filipino leaders like Manuel Quezon. Early's return as governor of the entire Cordillera was celebrated by all the tribes.

Brilliantly told and highly original

Woods weaves together so many parts of two decades of American ownership of the Philippines, and yet manages to keep the story cohesive. More than that, it is history that moves, lives, and excites.
