Subversive Lives: A Family Memoir of the Marcos Years

Subversive Lives
by Susan F. Quimpo
Nathan Gilbert Quimpo

A first person account of members of the Quimpo family, the various narratives paints a nuanced picture of the Marcos years. One sibling disappeared. Another was betrayed by a comrade. Others were detained and tortured. One joined the religious community of Opus Dei. Another was a government employee. Some became high ranking members of the communist insurgency before becoming disillusioned. 

A must-read for Filipinos, enlightening and informative.
