Book excerpt: Bob Boyer offers affectionate-often intimate-portraits of Filipino life and culture, formed over many visits. He sharpens the picture with factual detail. Whether he's riding a jeepney, sipping iced tea at the Chocolate Kiss, exploring the mysteries of Quiapo, or marching up Bataan and Corregidor. The Philippines is blessed by a number of historic sites as well as those associated with the American period and World War II. Professor Boyer serves both as a personal historian and a guide as he brings historic events to life. The book serves as an excellent reference for persons interested in Philippine history as well as for those who plan to visit the country.
