My review of Summary Executions

[Gerald]

In Summary Execution, Mike Withey has written with passion and precision about the political assassinations of Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes. He writes powerfully and movingly about how a talented legal team, bereaved family and friends, committed activists and an organized community worked together to peel back the layers of the conspiracy to expose Philippines dictator Fernand Marcos and his street-level minions. Withey reveals the personal and political high stakes in this real-life drama in devastating detail. As a former member of the Committee for Justice for Domingo and Viernes, I am grateful to Withey for his contributions to making sure that our two courageous leaders did not die in vain. Their legacy lives.
