How Filipino WWII Soldiers Were Written Out of History

I’m not sure I’d say it “got a section” in The American Pageant. The coverage is pretty slim and light on detail. There’s discussion of how atrocious the American military was, but with some “oh the Filipino soldiers did bad things to American soldiers and then the Americans retaliated” excuses thrown in.

It’s on pp 637–638 here: http://www.scuc.txed.net/webpages/cbaker/files/chapter%2027%...

And pp 646–647 here: http://www.scuc.txed.net/webpages/cbaker/files/chapter%2028%...

And page 807 here: http://www.scuc.txed.net/webpages/cbaker/files/chapter%2035%...

Huh. You're right. I must have read some stuff independently and assumed I was taught it in school.
