Endgame : the fall of Marcos / by Ninotchka Rosca.

This edition proceeds to an historical exposition of five major forces that shaped the uprising, from the underground revolutionary movement to the moderate reformers to the Washington government. Hard data interweave with individual reminiscenes to portray the growth of historical currents that overthrew the Marcos government in a four-day revolution that shook the foundations of American foreign policy in the Pacific. This edition is also unique in its advocacy that events in the Philippines be viewed from the eyes of Filipinos, that they be understood in terms of the needs and interests of those directly involved in and most affected by the change in regimes. The author clarifies for North American readers issues which are often muddled on account of the polygot nature of Philippine society.
