About this title

From Library Journal:

The nine essays on Philippine history, politics, security, economics, and social conditions that make up this title are unusually well integrated into a coherent whole. The ten contributors include prominent scholars and public figures, half from the Philippines and half from the United States. The focal point is the Marcos era, but attention is also given to the challenges for the Aquino government. Anyone interested in world events of this century will benefit from reading this volume.
