Reviews

Colleen Woods compellingly answers the question of how US colonization and decolonization of the Philippines shaped its response to the broader decolonization of European empires after 1945. Freedom Incorporated makes an important contribution to the literature on the United States and the Cold War, and in particular on US-Southeast Asian relations after 1945. --Bradley Simpson, University of Connecticut, author of Economists with Guns
