N2  - This book in fact tries in almost cryptic fashion to draw the general outlines of the Philippines historical experience these past two centuries. It locates the Philippines in the late 18th century in the crossroads of modernization and the already globalizing trend brought about by great number of technological and commercial advances of the colonial empires of the West at the time. It shows graphically in many instances how the games of the superpowers were played in this country, how wealth came and went out of this land, and in a strange way almost always left the country feeling poorer and exploited. (Foreword by Florentino Hornedo, viii)
