My book, Subic Bay From Magellan To Pinatubo, was first published in 1992 and has now been revised and greatly expanded in this Fourth Edition.
I would like to offer this book in PDF form Free to members of this forum for the next two weeks or so. It is a big file so just let me know your email address and I will give you the link to download it. Of course, I will do nothing with your email addresses. You can email me here.
All I ask is that if you find it informative or entertaining please post a book review on Amazon. If you find any errors you can email or post here.

There is probably no greater symbol of the United States’ global dominance and reach in the 20th century than Subic Bay in the Philippines. From its’ inception as a Spanish Naval Base, to its acquisition by the United States as part of the 1898 Treaty Of Paris, and through the turbulent years of the Philippine Insurrection, the second World War, the eventual return of sovereignty of the Philippines to the Filipino nation and through the Korean, Vietnam wars and the conflict of Desert Storm Subic Bay, and more specifically the U.S. Naval Station, looms large in historical lore and also to some degree through the screen.
During the nearly 100-year history of the U.S. Naval Station at Subic Bay, Philippines, thousands of American sailors and marines made port calls at this major ship-repair, supply, and rest and recreation base.
Most loved it, some hated it, but all will remember it through this illustrated book. Historical but very readable, this 4th Edition includes “100 Years of PI Liberty” sure to bring back memories of this great liberty port. Puts a new perspective on Subic Bay as you get to know the fascinating background that is found nowhere else.
In this book, Subic Bay is generally presented in a historical timeline format, with a few breakaway sections that deal with a specific subject matter area which provides the reader with an engrossing, rich glimpse into Subic Bay and its’ history through a period encompassing 400 years.
This is the fourth edition, the first having been published in 1991 just prior to the turnover of the US installations to the Philippine government. Over 360 pages and hundreds of never before published photos.
