Summary: Fidel V. Ramos is one of the most accomplished Asian leaders of the past generation. To him more than to any other, goes the credit for restoring democracy to the Philippines and inspiring a host of other countries to follow suit. With characteristic transparency, he opened his personal, professional, military and presidential papers to an American scholar, who if only from the remarkable access he - Scott Thompson - was given, has produced the first truly comprehensive biography of an Asian president. It is readable and remarkable throughout.
