The first biography of Rodrigo Duterte, the murderous, unpredictable president of the Philippines, a fascinating, fearsome man and the embodiment of populism in our time.

Rodrigo Duterte was elected President of the Philippines in 2016. In his first 18 months in office, 12,000 people were murdered on the streets, gunned down by police officers and vigilante citizens - all with his encouragement.

Duterte is a serial womanizer and a self-confessed killer, who has called both Barack Obama and Pope Francis "sons of whores." He is on record as saying he does not "give a shit" about human rights. Yet he is beloved of the 16.6 million Filipinos who voted for him, seen as vulgar but honest, a breath of fresh air, and an iconoclastic, anti-imperialist rebel.

Through interviews with Duterte himself, his sister, daughter, and son, two former presidents, old friends, death squad hitmen, and relatives of his victims, Channel 4 News's Asia Correspondent Jonathan Miller shows that far from the media cartoon of The Godfather, John Wayne, Hugo Chavez, and Donald Trump rolled into one, Duterte is a sinister, dangerous man, who should not be taken lightly.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"[C]aptures the almost fantastical nature of Mr. Duterte's life." (The Economist)

“This book is a history, but also a fable in a time of increasing authoritarian populism. It is a great read, crackling with moral outrage.” (Weekend Australian)

“[A] deeply reported, vivid foreign correspondent’s account of the man’s rise to power.” (John Reed, Financial Times)

I, like most in the UK knew very little about Rodrigo Duterte prior to this book, which I thought was very well written, researched and narrated.

Great bio of a little known leader in the UK

Well written and tells an interesting, horrifying story. A new reader would benefit the book.

A good story, but a bad reader

Fair from unbiased. The author site hearsay as fact and constantly repeats the same lines over and over.

The same story with evidence would have been a good book.

I am sorry I purchased the book and only finished it to give the author a chance to redeem himself. I should have gave up on chapter 3.

Constantly repeating the same lines over and over again.

Just another Western Liberal trying to tell the governments around the world how to run their countries!!!

Liberal nonsense
