A narrative history of the U.S.supported dictatorship that came to define the Philippines.Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos presented themselves as the reincarnation of a primal couple from Filipino mythology. Ferdinand reinvented himself as a matchless fighter against the Japanese, and Time magazine hailed him as a hero. He was the strongman, the dictator, welcomed at the White House by Lyndon B. Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, and the C.I.A..America's Boy. For twentyone years he and Imelda dominated the Philippines. In the , a 'democratic revolution' replaced them with Corazon Aquino, who, in turn, was followed by Fidel Ramos, Imelda's cousin. Nothing changed: the world applauded, the shadow play went on.James HamiltonPaterson has gathered astonishing information from senators, cronies, rivals, and Marcos family members, including Imelda. Covering the entire onehundredyear history of U. S. involvement in the Philippines, he offers a devastating vision of the price Filipinos paid for dictatorship. Perhaps no other couple is as emblematic of American Imperialism as the Marcoses; America's Boy is their story. Passionate, deeply researched, and haunting, it is 'a riveting read' (The Guardian [London]) by one of the language's best stylists.
