Description

David Fagen Turncoat Hero by Phillip W. Hoffman is a remarkable true story about an African-American soldier who defied orders and joined the enemy during the Philippine-American War. Sent to fight in Cuba, Fagen was later shipped off to the Philippines, where he became disillusioned with the brutal treatment of the local population. Fagen's decision to defect and join the Philippine Revolutionary Army marked a turning point in his life, as he went on to train and lead Filipino guerrillas in raids against American forces. His actions earned him notoriety as America's most hated traitor, yet simultaneously made him a hero among the Filipinos. This book tells the story of Fagen's complex and often contradictory experiences during this tumultuous period in history, offering a unique perspective on the Spanish-American War and its aftermath.
