    An Insightful Guide Through Filipino History
  

*by J***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 April 2017*

This is a nicely written book, very readable and full of interesting detail that helps in understanding the culture of the Philippines. As a British national based in Hong Kong I have been visiting the Philippines for 30 years and love the country and it's people. This book helps to explain why so many of the injustices and tribulations that ordinary long-suffering Filipinos face with such good humour and fortitude have been perpetuated. For anyone with a curiosity about what the Philippines was like before it was colonised, how the Spanish ruled, and the brutal reality of the American attempt at imperialism this is a real eye opener. The national heros of Filipino resistance and opposition to crushing oppressive rule are also well described. The post independence conduct of Marcos and other similarly reprehensible characters and the influences that led to their appointment were particularly interesting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Recommended read for anyone interested in Philippine history
  

*by R***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 March 2017*

I love the fresh new take on the pre-colonial history of the Philippines with the discovery of the LCI (ca. AD 900), a true game changer into how far really the history of the islands go and which is something I wasn't taught when I was at school. It's also a forward looking history book which captured the most recent events that continually shapes the nation as an emerging economy in the world.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A very comprehensive, interesting, and readable history of the Philippines!
  

*by F***Z on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 March 2016*

This is a very readable history, with good historical coverage, facts, opinion and humour. The book covers early Philippine history, the arrival and establishment of Spanish colonialism, and the various political tos-and-fros up to 2014. There are many interesting revelations particularly about the American colonial period and how it relates to the various histories of the countries in the region. It also provides a good understanding of tensions both within the Philippines itself and those with neighbouring countries. Strongly recommended.
