What is the author's style in In Our Image: America's Empire in the Philippines by Stanley Karnow?

The language and meaning of the story delve into the issues and events that have driven the history of the Philippines. There are tragedies and great deeds. Some events are orchestrated, and other events take place purely by accident. Sadly, a great many problems are caused by simple lack of communication. Much if this delves from a racist/ supremacist view of outsiders towards the Filipino people.
