The Katipunan_ or, The Rise and Fall of the Filipino Commune by Francis St. Clair

The Katipunan: Or, The Rise and Fall of the Filipino Commune is a rare firsthand account of the Philippine Revolution from the perspective of a British missionary and observer living in the islands during the late 19th century. Written by Francis St. Clair, this work offers a controversial but historically significant narrative of the secret society known as the Katipunan and its role in the Filipino struggle against Spanish colonial rule. Blending observation, colonial commentary, and early historiography, St. Clair presents a vivid—if biased—portrait of the revolutionary movement and its eventual dissolution.
