Excellent- More about Inside the Philippine Revolution: The New People's Army and Its Struggle for Power
The New Peoples Army (NPA) in the Philippines is gaining strength, but little is known about its origins, composition, aims, and tactics. William Chapman follows the trail of the NPA from its founding 19 years ago to a force of more than 23,000 active guerrillas today, supported by hundreds of thousands of ordinary Filipinos. He shows why those in power in Manila and Washington fear the NPA and wish to thwart it.

Hundreds of journalists flocked to Manila when Benigno Aquino was assassinated, but their reports failed to capture a larger story. This book fills that gap by exploring the origins, composition, aims, and tactics of the communist New Peoples Army (NPA) in the Philippines. William Chapman traces the NPA's journey from its humble beginnings 19 years ago with a handful of Marxist students and rebel farmers, to a formidable force of over 23,000 active guerrillas today, supported by hundreds of thousands of ordinary Filipinos. He reveals the grim social conditions that gave rise to the movement, the strategic decisions made by NPA leaders, and the dedicated rank and file who continue to win the hearts and minds of the people. Despite facing formidable odds, the NPA holds its own against the U.S.-backed military, controls or influences large parts of the countryside, and has become a permanent contender for power in ceasefires and negotiations. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary history and the Pacific region's international affairs.
