Under the Crescent Moon: Rebellion in Mindanao

by Marites Dañguilan Vitug, Glenda M. Gloria

This book is an exhaustively researched, evenhanded, and briskly written report on the Mindanao that most Filipinos read about everyday but have never really known. It holds great value for scholars and pedestrians alike: a sifted mass of detail that often reads like a political thriller.
