Synopsis: A forceful account of American foreign policy and a twenty-year relationship with Ferdinand Marcos based on more than 3,000 previously classified US government documents and interviews with scores of politicians, diplomats, intelligence officers and military officials.
From the DJ: 'Waltzing with a Dictator is a startling report on America's twenty-year alliance with the 'conjugal dictatorship' of Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, Imelda. It is a story of power and greed abroad and ideological warfare in Washington over America's support of one of the world's most avaricious rulers. . . Bonner reveals that in the long run, however, Marcos's rule worked against America's best interest; that he was in fact the cause of the growth of communism, political instability, and the country's economic collapse. And accurate predictions of the course Marcos would take and the disastrous consequences for American interests had been articulated by members of the State Department and intelligence officials in Manila and Washington. Who these critics were and why their warnings went unheeded are the subject of the author's ground-breaking investigation.'
