The novel's seamless intertwining of the characters' lives with contemporary Philippine and Chinese history brings to life the so-called First Quarter Storm of student activism and the formation of the New People's Army in the Philippines, and China's Cultural Revolution in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The movement goes awry resorting to terrorist tactics, summary executions and betrayals of faith. (Source: http://www.amazon.com)
