These "101 stories" are by a historian who here makes palatable information on contexts, incidents and personalities which form the history of the Philippine Revolution of the 1890s. Light is shed on events surrounding the Declaration of Independence of June 1898 and the subsequent (violent) US Occupation and colonisation. Several stories focus on the role and personality of Emilio Aguinaldo, titular President of the Philippines 1898-1901. Black-and-white illustrations.
