Death by Garrote

Volume 3 in Anvil Publishing's series compiling Ambeth Ocampo's popular history column, Looking Back, featuring straightforward, thoroughly researched essays on Philippine history and culture packed with curiosity, controversy, and insight--as well as Dr. Ocampo's trademark wit and humor.

"The cause of history writing owes Ambeth Ocampo a great deal. By his extraordinary use of a relatively new genre, he has rescued history from the cold, forbidding halls of academe. He has made of history something amusing, entertaining... as immediate as a newspaper headline, as relevant as a rapper's song." --Carmen Guerrero-Nakpil
