People Power: The Greatest Democracy Ever Told The Philippine Revolution of 1986 (An Eyewitness to History)

This is an oral and visual history of people's power in the Philippine revolution of 1986. It is an oral history told by the people who witnessed, and made, the event. It is also a visual history told through photographs--247 photos. It was a revolution without precedent. Men, women, and children, armed only with crucifixes, images of the Blessed Virgin, songs, and rosaries to signify their prayers-made themselves into human barricades. Made invulnerable by their vulnerability, they faced up to armed Marines and stopped tanks. Thus, the people disarmed the Marcos forces. People's power had regained democracy. The book captures history as it was made, out of spontaneous courage which Filipinos will never forget and about which the world will always wonder.
