16 x 24 cm.; pg. 280 ; Preface, index, numerous black-and-white photos. "Readers may find trying my determination to place the emergence of President Marcos in the context of the Philippine political culture. Those impatient to focus on the President and his fall can read the last chapters first, but it is my contention that they will not understand either his rise or fall without an appreciation of Philippine history and the political culture within which the President grew up, and by which, even in his most despotic moments, he was bound.
