(5,630 posts)I checked out a few books about MacArthur from the library a few years ago, and one of them called Rampage was all about the battle of Manila. I can't remember the author, but I am sure you can easily get it through your library. It's a big book and very detailed, but I couldn't put it down.

(37,653 posts)... the Pulitzer Prize-winning "In Our Image" by Stanley Karnow, a noted author of East/Southeast Asian history. The treatment of the Battle of Manila is not the focus of the book, but sufficiently harrowing. And the coverage of the US-Phillippine war of 1899-1902 will come as a shock to most Americans -- an era of explicit imperialism on the part of a country born of a revolution against imperialism.
