The Philippines: A Unique Nation

by Sonia M. Zaide, Gregorio F. Zaide

This one-volume survey of the cultural and political history of the Philippines is a classic textbook and reference for students, researchers and institutions needing a comprehensive but compact information about the Philippines. It is a condensed and updated version of the Zaide history books, which several generations of Filipino students have used. Unlike other history books, it is balanced, extensive in scope from the precolonial era to the present, and written in clear prose. As many have noted, the Philippines is a "unique nation", due to its heritage from four major civilizations--the Asian, the European, the Latin, and the American. This book explains the reasons why, and links the past as a preparation for a destiny that makes the Philippines different from any nation in the world.

Generally it was a good read. However, when some of the information presented as facts are not true at all, then you need to question the thoroughness put into research. Case in point: this book stated Philippines offered the US assistance by offering its submarine in World War I. The Philippines never had a submarine back then. Actually, it is looking to acquire its first submarine for its Navy within the next couple of years as part of its modernization plan.
