Description

On August 21, 1983, a pistol shot killed Philippine Opposition leader Benigno Aquino.  Willie Vicoy's unforgettable photgraphs of that death on an airport tarmac sent a signal around the world that the Philippines had entered a period of mounting crisis.

BAYAN KO! means 'My Country'in the Philipines.  It is a song, ironically popularized by Ferdinand Marcos, that became a rallying cry for the people who forced him into exile.  This is a book about what they saw.
