Patricia Evangelista's "journalistic masterpiece" is a detailed account of the Philippines' state-sanctioned killings of its citizens. The book, which was published by The New Yorker, is a deeply humane chronicle of the country's drug war. Evangelista, who came of age after a street revolution, documented the killings carried out by police and vigilantes under President Rodrigo Duterte's regime. The book captures the atmosphere of fear created when an elected president decides to prioritize certain lives over others. It also delves into the grammar of violence and human impulses to dominate and resist.
