520			_aThis book discusses the political career of William H. Taft in the Philippines from 1900 to 1903. He is presented here as the chief interpreter of President McKinley's "benevolent assimilation" program, as a legislator, chief executive, trouble shooter, lobbyist, diplomat, judge and a propogandist. Towards the end, the book argues that Taft is a major character in Philippine history because he orchestrated the establishment of American colonial institution in the Philipiines, an episode in Philippine history that has great effect on the life of the Filipinos until the present time.
