Ferdinand Marcos: Power, Paranoia, Legacy - Couverture souple
Livre 21 sur 23: The Dictator?s Burden
Synopsis
Ferdinand Marcos promised order, progress and national renewal. What he left behind was fear, debt, corruption, divided memory and one of the most contested political legacies in modern Asian history.
Ferdinand Marcos: Power, Paranoia, Legacy tells the story of a gifted, ruthless and deeply ambitious leader who rose from provincial politics to the presidency of the Philippines, then reshaped the republic around his own survival.
Marcos was not a simple thug or fool. He was intelligent, disciplined, legally trained and politically brilliant. He understood image, memory, fear, patronage, law, family power and the emotional hunger for national greatness. That made him more dangerous, not less.
This book follows Marcos from his early life in Ilocos Norte through his disputed wartime mythology, his rise through Congress and the Senate, his marriage to Imelda, his election to the presidency, the declaration of martial law, the creation of the New Society, the growth of crony capitalism, his relationship with the United States, the assassination of Benigno Aquino Jr., the People Power Revolution and the long battle over his legacy.
It examines the central questions behind the Marcos era:
How did a democratic politician become a dictator?
Why did martial law appeal to some Filipinos?
How did development become a justification for repression?
What role did Imelda Marcos play in the theatre of power?
How did money, fear, spectacle and foreign support sustain the regime?
Why does the Marcos legacy remain so politically powerful today?
Written in a direct, readable style, Ferdinand Marcos: Power, Paranoia, Legacy is a historical account of ambition, authoritarianism, corruption, memory and the burden a dictator leaves behind.
This is not a tribute. It is a warning about what happens when one man convinces himself that the country needs him more than it needs its institutions.
