"American Datu: John J. Pershing and Counterinsurgency Warfare in the Muslim Philippines,
1899-1913 provides a play-by-play account of a crucial but often overlooked period
in the development of American counterinsurgency strategy. Tracing Pershing's military
campaigns in the Philippines, Ronald K. Edgerton examines how Progressive counterinsurgency
doctrine evolved in direct response to the first sustained military encounter between
the United States and Muslim militants. Pershing de-emphasized so-called civilizing
efforts and stressed the practicality of building relationships with local Moro leaders
and immersing himself in Moro cultural practices. In turn, Moros elected him as a
fellow datu, or chief, and Pershing came to realize a fundamental principle of counterinsurgency
warfare: one size does not fit all, and tactics must be molded to fit the specific
environment. In light of Pershing's military success, this study calls for a reevaluation
of the more invasive counterinsurgency methods used by US officers against Muslim
militants today, and it addresses the important role the Philippine-American War played
in developing modern US military strategy."-- Contracubierta
