Reddit mentions of Diary of a Dictator -- Ferdinand & Imelda: The Last Days of Camelot

Here's my list from months ago...

Well, here they are:

I recommend Luis Francia's History of the Philippines: From Indios Bravos to Filipinos. This book is the best introduction to Philippine history, period.

And then...

• The Huk Rebellion by Benedict J. Kerkvliet
  
• Sakdalistas' Struggle for Philippine Independence 1930-1945 by Motoe Terami-Wada
  
  Both books are still available in major bookstores (NBS, Powerbooks, Fully Booked).
  Mrs. Terami-Wada wrote about the Sakdalistas much earlier and so here's the monograph on the subject.
  
  On the pre-colonial era, the one great expert is no other than William Henry Scott, and here's a list of his books:
  
  
• Cracks in the Parchment Curtain
  
• Prehispanic Source Materials for the Study of Philippine History
  
• Looking for the Prehispanic Filipino
  
  Unfortunately, out of stock. And as you noticed, none of these authors are Filipino.
  
  I'd recommend any book by Ambeth Ocampo, btw.
  
  And finally, on Muslim Philippines, there's only one must-read:
  
  
• Muslims in the Philippines by Cesar Adib Majul
  
  Have fun~!
  
  Lest I forget, books on the Marcoses and the Martial Law era:
  
  
• The Conjugal Dictatorship of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos by Primitivo Mijares (a free e-book, with the permission of a Mijares' relative)
  
• The Untold Story of Imelda Marcos by Carmen Navarro Pedrosa (available in bookstores)
  
• James Hamilton-Paterson's America's Boy
  
• William C. Rempel's Diary of a Dictator -- Ferdinand & Imelda: The Last Days of Camelot - This one contains excerpts of FM's journals, the originals of which lies deep in the National Archives (?)
  
• Myles A. Garcia's Thirty Years Later...: Catching Up with the Marcos-Era Crimes
  
• Raissa Robles' Marcos Martial Law: Never Again
  
  That's all, for now. :)
