Angry Days in Mindanao: The Philippine Revolution and the War Against the U.S. in the East and Northeast Mindanao, 1897-1908

by: Fr. Peter Schreurs, MSC

This book examines the impact of the Philippine Revolution and the Philippine-American War on the eastern and northeastern regions of Mindanao between 1897 and 1901. Drawing extensively from missionary archives and contemporary accounts, Schreurs documents the experiences of Spanish Catholic missionaries—their captivity, ordeals, and eventual release—within the broader context of political unrest and local resistance in Surigao, Agusan, and Davao Oriental.

This meticulously researched study contributes to a deeper understanding of the intersection of colonial, religious, and local histories during a pivotal periond in the Philippine struggle for nationhood.
