It&#x27;s definitely got a section in The American Pageant, a textbook used for Advanced Placement US history in some high schools. I was aware of the counterinsurgency war but didn&#x27;t know many specifics. I think I just assumed &quot;It was like Vietnam, but with more racism, less press coverage, and consequently more murder of civilians.&quot;<p>I believe I remember also learning that Kipling published White Man&#x27;s Burden at the same as a caution against that war.
