The Philippines is a nation forged in the crucible of colonial encounters. For more than three centuries, Spain imposed its rule over the islands, binding them to an empire of faith and monarchy. Then, in the late nineteenth century, the United States arrived, declaring its own brand of democracy, education, and modernisation. Faith, Flag, and Freedom tells the sweeping story of how Spanish Catholicism and American democracy came together—sometimes violently, sometimes harmoniously—to create the Philippines of today.

Islands of Fire and Freedom: The Untold Story of the Philippines in World War II by Amihan Ramirez Navarro is a sweeping narrative of courage, tragedy, and resilience set against one of the most devastating chapters of the twentieth century. While much of the world remembers Pearl Harbor, D-Day, and the fall of Berlin, the Philippines’ ordeal often lingers in the shadows of history. This book brings that forgotten front to the forefront, restoring the voices of a people who endured invasion, occupation, and liberation in a crucible of fire that reshaped their nation forever.
