But today, on social media, Marcos is a hero.</strong></p><p>President Ferdinand E. Marcos held power for 21 years and lost power in four days. What happened and why is recounted in this memoir by Keith Dalton, a decade-long former foreign correspondent in the Philippines. He writes of a ruthless and repressive dictatorship - responsible for more than 100,000 deaths, imprisonments, torture, and disappearances. Through despotism, nepotism, and corruption, Marcos built an empire of greed until he was overthrown in a People Power revolution in 1986.</p><p>Decades after his death, Marcos has been reinvented - mythologised and propagandised - by social media disinformation which claims it was a golden age and Marcos was the nations best-ever president. This false legacy helped Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr. win the presidency in 2022. Dalton remembers an autocrat and a bloody age when Marcos politically gutted and economically plundered the nation. Reinventing Marcos is his account of the 10 years he was there.</p>...7150313Reinventing Marcos155155https://www.gandhi.com.mx/reinventing-marcos-9781764020961/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7151519/image.jpg?v=638894379651730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781764020961_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9781764020961_<p><strong>Marcos died a dictator.
