Reviews

"... for his excellent narration of events in 2003 of which he is able to discuss significant factors, namely: (1) offensive-defensive strategy of both the government and the MILF; and, (2) diplomacy (i.e. negotiation for peaceful settlement, and also the several factors, events and the dynamics in the encounters.) I high recommend this [work] as must reading." Professor Nagsura T. Madale, Mindanao State University
