PRESIDENT TRUMP AND GENERAL PERSHING - MAROUF A...

This book provides a critical analysis of Donald Trump's mention of General Pershing and his
alleged use of bullets dipped in pig's blood to kill 49 out of 50 captured Muslims during the
suppression years in the Philippines. The author argues that most observers who heard this
fable dismissed it as an inaccurate representation of historical realities that also maligned a
great general. Using critiques of both Trump and post-truths  the author argues that instead of
being summarily dismissive of these comments  academics  investigative journalists and others
ought to follow the US president's admonition that we study history  but do so in nuanced ways.
The author argues that there are times when false renditions of historical events may in fact
provide opportunities to revisit contentious pasts  and this book suggests that in place of
sanitized military histories  we take this opportunity to provide detailed analyses of the Moro
rebellion.
