Double-weighted statement
The research for this 432 pp seminal volume started over twenty years ago and involved research in the Philippines, Spain, Italy, the Vatican and the US. As reviewers note: "The book is truly remarkable in breadth and depth and has the power of a prosecuting attorney’s relentless presentation of a damning circumstantial case: the reader’s resistance gives way under the sheer weight of the evidence. ... Others have, on less evidence, surmised some of this story of loss, but no one before has effectively estimated its depth or duration." - (Norman G. Owen, editor, The Emergence of Modern Southeast Asia).
