N2  - The book takes issue with the popular conception that the military politicization began only under the Marcos by contending that it has a longer history. Berlin combined a detailed analysis of archival data, newspaper reports, and dissertations to track the history of civilian-military relations since the independence, showing the extent to which the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) played partisan politics to lobby, defend and promote the institution's interests.
