Worcester is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book offers an extensive exploration of the Philippines, focusing on the effects of American colonization and governance during a significant period spanning from the Spanish-American War to the early years of American rule. Worcester, who served as the Secretary of the Interior in the Philippine Islands, presents a firsthand perspective on the political, social, and economic developments of the time, along with an analysis of the challenges faced by the Filipino people. The opening of the book establishes Worcester's credentials and his motivations for writing. He recounts his youthful experiences and the journey that ultimately led him to the Philippines, highlighting his initial interest in zoology and the hardships he faced during his travels. Worcester reflects on his time with American troops, discusses the relationships he built with Filipinos, and sets the stage for a detailed examination of topics such as the promise of independence, insurgent cooperation, and the historical context surrounding American intervention. His intent is to provide a clearer picture of the situation in the Philippines, address misconceptions, and ultimately portray the transition toward self-governance amidst the backdrop of colonial rule.
