hardcover. Etat de la jaquette : Good. First Edition. Boston. 1984. Houghton Mifflin. 1st Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0395352851. 464 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Bernadette Evangelist. keywords: Asia Philippines History America World Literature. DESCRIPTION - SITTING IN DARKNESS follows the paths of three people in the Philippines: an American soldier of fortune. a Filipino revolutionary leader. and an American historian who left the safety and limits of the library for the hazards of the jungle. What emerges is a narrative in which past and present are unforgettably entwined. In March 1982, David Haward Bain hiked 110 miles through the mountainous, sparsely populated coast of Luzon. Led by pygmy guides, he and his five companions crossed peaks, forded rivers, and negotiated jungles to retrace a historic expedition made during a pivotal but now forgotten American war. What spurred Bain to attempt this trek were the personal sagas of two men who were symbols of their country's aspirations, headline makers at the century's turn, who are now largely unknown: Frederick Funston, a midwestern soldier of fortune and winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and Emilio Aguinaldo, the heart and soul of the Philippine insurrection against the United States. In 1901, after two years of war had reduced both sides to a stalemate. Funston discovered the whereabouts of Aguinaldo's long-sought stronghold and concocted a brilliant and audacious scheme to capture him. Landing on a hostile coast under cover of night, the raiding party marched through uncharted enemy territory. Their success ultimately forced the war to a halt. The Philippines became an American colony until their independence in 1946, and an awkward postcolonial relationship that continues to this day. inventory #27777 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.
