Lewis Simons' Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the final years of the Marcos dictatorship and the People Power revolution that ended it. The book covers the period from the assassination of Benigno Aquino Jr. on the tarmac at Manila airport in 1983 through the EDSA uprising in February 1986. Simons was a journalist based in Manila during these years, and the reporting is first-hand and vivid. Essential reading for understanding modern Philippine politics and why the Marcos name still carries such weight in the country.
