Younghusband offers a first-hand account of the Philippine Revolution and the Spanish-American War, from the eyes of a British military observer. Sir George John Younghusband (1859–1944) was a cavalry officer and major-general in the British Indian Army. In 1898, he was appointed as a military observer during the Spanish–American War in the Philippines, and in May that year promoted to substantive major. In his later life he became a noted author of several books, and the Keeper of the Jewel House at the Tower of London, until his death.
