                   Swish of the Kris, the Story of the Moros, Authorized and Enhanced Edition  
     by Vic Hurley

This is an improved and enhanced edition of the author's (1938) classic work about the history and origin of the Islamic, Pagan and Christian Filipinos. It traces the origin of the present Filipinos from prehistory to the early twentieth century and emphasizes the culture and character of the Islamic Filipinos - the Moros. 

 This 2010 edition contains new photographs from the author's personal collection, new maps, a new comprehensive index, and a new Introduction describing the author's context at the time of writing.

It is important to students of Philippine history and current events - especially as it relates to the connection of Islam to the West.  The Philippine government continues to attempt to quell the violence in the southern islands relating to the Moro's 400 year struggle for independence and a self-governed homeland.

This book also relates the final chapter of the Spanish occupation of the Philippines and the United States military's attempt to subjugate the native population at the end of the Spanish-American War - and the subsequent Philippine-American war for independence.

As a final note: this book is a resource for students of Philippine martial arts.  It describes events and the culture that created the discipline.                                           320 pps, 12 illustrations, List $29.95

                          Jungle Patrol, the Story of the Philippine Constabulary (1901 - 1936)  
     by Vic Hurley

Hurley's remakable and hard-to-find book about an obscure and heroic quasi-military force, the Philippine Constabulary, is now re-issued in a new, improved edition containing all of the original text, updated maps, and other fresh material.

The Constabulary was created as a political expediency by the Philippine Commission headed by William Howard Taft at the behest of President McKinley in 1901, to supress Philippine insurgencies, turmoil, and violence at the end of the Spanish-American War. The American public, by then, had become hostile to the use of American military forces in the islands.  The Philippine Constabulary was America's first experiment with using  native forces under the command of 'foreign' officers to supress native uprisings, banditry, and piracy.  It was also America's first experiment with jungle warfare and is studied today by students of military history. Subequently the Constabulary became a respected and honored native Philippine institution.

This book is importatnt to students of military history, jungle warfare, the use of native troops, and the history of the Philippines and Southeast Asia.    

As a final note: this book is a resource for students of Philippine marial arts. It describes the events and the cullture which created the discipline.                                    420 pps; 24 illustrations; List $29.95
