DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1969, Ferdinand Marcos won a second term as president, in one of the dirtiest campaigns in Philippine history. That same year, Edgar Jopson was elected president of the National Union of Students of the Philippines, in a campaign to keep the Communists out of the student movement. Thirteen years later Jopson was gunned down by the military during a raid on an underground safehouse. He was by then one of the most wanted people in the country, with a price on his head, a leading Communist Party cadre and member of the urban underground. Jopson was an unusual individual, and his story is a fascinating one. Yet his experiences were those of a generation of student radicals that came of age in the 1970s, and galvanized a country to action in the 1980s. Thus this book is not just the biography of one person, it is the history of a generation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow do dictators stay in power? When, and how, do they use repression to do so? Dictators and their Secret Police explores the role of the coercive apparatus under authoritarian rule in Asia - how these secret organizations originated, how they operated, and how their violence affected ordinary citizens. Greitens argues that autocrats face a coercive dilemma: whether to create internal security forces designed to manage popular mobilization, or defend against potential coup. Violence against civilians, she suggests, is a byproduct of their attempt to resolve this dilemma. Drawing on a wealth of new historical evidence, this book challenges conventional wisdom on dictatorship: what autocrats are threatened by, how they respond, and how this affects the lives and security of the millions under their rule. It offers an unprecedented view into the use of surveillance, coercion, and violence, and sheds new light on the institutional and social foundations of authoritarian power.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA story of boys who went to school together from 1954 to 1971 at the Ateneo de Manila University. They are ADMU 198 (the sum of GS62, HS66, Coll70, and BSME71). Classmates who joined them for at least a year but graduated ahead, behind or not at all have also been included as part of ADMU 198. This is their composite autobiography, if there is such a genre. They contributed their respective recollections and impressions, and these were pooled together in what is hopefully a meaningful whole. I totally wash my hands of responsibility for anything libelous, scandalous, obscene, depraved, coarse, tasteless, irreverent, inane, opinionated, seditious or anything that is simply outrageous, and worth distancing one's self from. I was initially made editor or coordinator of this project under duress and in the absence of my own free will. I would have quit if only it was not so much fun to engage in such muck.
