I haven't gotten halfway through the book, and I am starting to feel drowsy already. Politics is not my cup of tea. I lost track of most of the Filipino names and their involvement to the Marcos Clan. The general thought I got from reading this is you can find corruption anywhere in the world but even more so in the Philippines. I hope it has changed by now. I really hope so.
It is now time to start reading a more interesting book. :)

Impressive research results in this book. McDougald isn't afraid to name names. If you have any interest in politics, US finances, or the Marcoses, you'd love this book.
