Sinopsis
"The post-Ramos coup attempts did not have the same political magnitude and intensity as those which went on during the years of Cory Aquino in power in the 1980s. This is partly why putting the pieces together felt like writing a pos-mortem account. The old patterns were evident, starting from President Joseph Estrada's ouster in 2001 and up until the fiasco at the Manila Peninsula takeover in 2007. As I bring it to a closure, I still see the optimism of a military being professional again. I have also come to conclude that what has made the armed forces survive as an institution, and truly its saving grace, is that there are a few good men. Let us hope then that officers of the future will be more discerning and courageous enough to break away from old habits and turn in the right direction." -- From the Preface to 2009 Edition

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition of the updated edition. Other works on the Philippine military's turbulent recent history provides us with a distant, wide-angle view. Here, for the first time, is a close-up that portrays the boys from the barracks in human terms: lofty dreams and dangerous illusions, honor and duplicity, a deep love of country and ultimate contempt for fellowmen who are not in uniform. The cover has a little rubbing at the edges. Nº de ref. del artículo: 001521
