Shadows of Power - Corruption and Control in the Marcos Era

William Ubagan

Sinossi

Shadows of Power: Corruption and Control in the Marcos Era is an incisive exploration of one of the most turbulent periods in Philippine history. Author William Ubagan delves into the mechanisms of control and the depths of corruption that characterized the Marcos regime, unraveling how power was wielded to suppress opposition, manipulate public perception, and entrench an authoritarian rule.
 
Through extensive research and first-hand accounts, this book examines the political strategies, economic maneuvers, and social impacts of the era, offering readers a clear picture of how an entire nation was shaped by a single family's hold on power. Shadows of Power not only tells the story of a dark chapter in the Philippines but also serves as a warning about the vulnerabilities of any democracy.
 
A compelling read for history enthusiasts, political analysts, and anyone interested in the universal struggle for freedom and justice, Shadows of Power is a sobering reminder of the resilience required to protect human rights and maintain democratic principles.

Lost Lake Erie

Jennifer Boresz Engelking

Serene one moment and destructive the next, Lake Erie's moods mirror its tumultuous role in history . 
 
As the site of Cleveland's Great Lakes Exposition, the lake offered visitors a respite from the Great Depression, and Hotel Victory, once considered the world's largest summer resort, drew thousands to Put-In-Bay. Daring postal workers dangerously crossed the ice-covered surface on hybrid "boats" and by foot. Canal Street, at the Buffalo Wharf, was once called "the Wickedest Street in America." The Erie is one of thousands of ships that lie in a solemn graveyard below the surface. And rum runners turned the lake into a watery highway for illegal booze during Prohibition. 
 
Author Jennifer Boresz Engelking reveals entertaining, heartbreaking, and nostalgic stories of the lost sites, businesses, and industries of Lake Erie.
