About this book
From the Introduction by Elmer A. Ordonez:
"The third volume [of the Selected Writings 1991-2009] contians the political essays of Jose Maria Sison from 2001 to 1006. This period saw ignominious and epochal events like September 11 and George W. Bush's "war on terror," the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and world-wide risings against these aggressions, the reelection of Bush and more of his failed policies, and auguries of the global economic and financial meltdown.
While these and other events inform Sison's writings largely prompted by invitations to speak in forums and gatherings, he has had occasion to draw lessons from earlier events like the Korean War, the 1955 Bandung Conference, the 1965 massacre in Indonesia, the Vietnam War, and the 1997 Southeast Asian financial crisis."
