    Filipino and American historians have recreated the Philippine Revolution to suit the political needs of succeeding generations, disregarding aspects that now emerge so clearly in Alvarez's account- an embittered factionalism, strong undercurrents of messianism and animism and a violent machismo. To give their new nation Western style heroes and heroism, postwar Filipino Historians often stripped these events of their authenticity. Alvarez gives us back these elements without denigrating the dignity or glory of the revolution. “In the interest of noble truth” he wrote of the successes as well as failures, bravery as well as brutality, providing the new raw material for recreating this aspect of the Filipino past.Without denigrating the dignity or glory of the Revolution, this book gives an account of the successes as well as failures, and bravery as well as brutality of the war, providing raw material for recreating this aspect of the Filipino past. This book contains both the Tagalog and English texts.
