Summary:
Even before Benigno Aquino's death, William Chapman was on the trail of the New People's Army (NPA). In the spirit of Red Star over China, he has brought back a rare look in the making of the revolution. He shows us the growth of the NPA, and the history of oppression and inequality that spawned it.He introduces us to the leaders of the NPA and explains us their strategy. He brings us face to face with the rank and file who fight and who strive with increasing success to win the hearts and minds of the people. He shows us why those in power in Manila and Washington fear the NPA and wish to thwart its march to power. This is riveting contemporary history, essential reading to all who want to know the true story of revolution on the Philippines and US policy there.
