By Albert Sonnichsen

"Ten Months a Captive Among Filipinos" recounts Albert Sonnichsen's experiences as a prisoner during the Philippine-American War. This gripping first-hand account offers a rare glimpse into the conflict from the perspective of an American held captive by Filipino insurgents. Sonnichsen details the hardships, the cultural encounters, and the complex relationships he formed during his imprisonment.

Sonnichsen's narrative provides invaluable insights into the motivations and strategies of the Filipino resistance, as well as the day-to-day realities of life in captivity. With a foreword by T. S. Wentworth, this historical document offers a compelling and humanizing perspective on a controversial period in American history. It remains a significant primary source for understanding the complexities of the Philippine-American War and its lasting impact.
