Secretary Root's Record: Marked Severities In Philippine Warfare: An Analysis Of The Law And Facts Bearing On The Action, (Paperback)

""Secretary Root's Record: Marked Severities in Philippine Warfare"" is a historical analysis of the actions and statements made by President Theodore Roosevelt and Secretary of War Elihu Root during the Philippine-American War. The book, written by journalist and political commentator Moorfield Storey, examines the legality and morality of the tactics used by American forces in the conflict, including the use of waterboarding and other forms of torture. Storey argues that the actions of the American military were in violation of both international law and American values, and that the policies of Roosevelt and Root were responsible for these abuses. The book provides a detailed account of the war, including the political and social context in which it took place, and offers a critical perspective on the actions of the American government during this turbulent period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
