On September 21, 1972, President Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law in the Philippines. This marked the beginning of a dark period in the country's history, characterized by human rights violations, political repression, and economic decline.

Martial Law Really Happened: We Were There is a gripping account of the events of that fateful day and its aftermath. The book features firsthand accounts from those who witnessed the declaration, including soldiers, civilians, and journalists.

Through these personal stories, readers will learn about the chaos and confusion that reigned in the streets of Manila as tanks and troops took control of the city. They will also hear from those who were arrested and tortured during the martial law regime, and from those who fought to resist the dictatorship.

Martial Law Really Happened: We Were There is a powerful reminder of the dangers of authoritarianism and the importance of fighting for democracy.
