内容説明

This political study of the Philippines examines the revolutionary roots which have been growing for more than 400 years, primarily as a result of Spanish colonization and later in response to nearly a century of American domination. The author also analyzes Corazon Aquino's first years in power, and maintains that the President has not provided the promised solutions to her country's problems. The book traces the history and background of guerrilla groups and political parties in the Philippines, such as the New People's Army and the Communist Party of the Philippines and argues that such organizations are strategically poised to take over control of the country. The author argues that when the time is ripe, the collapse of the Aquino government will be swift and sudden and poses the question: should the US send in troops and risk another Vietnam. Leonard Davis is also the author of "The Philippines: People, Poverty and Politics".
