Massacre in the Clouds

"Massacre in the Clouds" uncovers the history of the largely forgotten 1906 attack on Moros in Jolo, Philippines, where American soldiers killed around a thousand civilians atop an extinct volcano. Through meticulous research and a rediscovered photograph, Kim A. Wagner reveals the grim reality of this atrocity, offering a vivid account of colonial warfare rooted in European imperialism. The book sheds light on an event overshadowed by its historical silence, drawing connections to broader themes of violence and colonial violence practices.
