Ex-Library. Politics & Government, History, Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos.Contents:, February 16, 2006Reviewer: Judy Smith "judylynnsbooks" (jamestown, ky United States) - The overthrow of the Marcos regime began with just 200 poorly equipped rebels who declared war on the modern 225,000 man Philippine army. Its success hinged on a contagion of bravery, a brillian "psychowar," and a quixotic combination of conscience and blind luck. Bryan Johnson tells the inside story of what really happened, which up to this point had been unreported in the West. Filled with such colorful portraits as Rambo-like rebel leader Gringo Honasan, moments of hilarious gallow humor and inspiring courage, and a look inside Malacanang, the presidential palace, during Marcos' final bid for power. Also gives a frank assessment of the U.S. role in the Marcos overthrow, and of Corazon Aquino and her supporters.
