Description
On May 1, 1898 a US fleet of nine warships steamed into Manila Bay in the Spanish colony. This event marked the emergence of the US on the world scene as an imperialist power. The Philippines, with all its people, became a possession of the US. This Marxist history maps out the struggle for national independence, freedom and the democratic development of the Philippines. Pomeroy and his wife Celia Mariano, a Huk leader, were deeply involved in the struggle of the Philippine people. They were captured in 1952 and served 10 years as political prisoners until pardoned after a US campaign for their release. He now lives in exile in England.
