Former Philippine president, Ferdinand E. Marcos held power for 21-years and lost power in four days. What happened and why is recounted in this book 'Reinventing Marcos' by Keith Dalton, a former foreign correspondent in the Philippines for 10 years. Marcos, regarded as one of the twentieth century's most corrupt and ruthless leaders - responsible for more than 110,000 deaths, imprisonments, torture, and 'disappearances' - was overthrown in a People Power revolution in 1986. Marcos died a dictator. But today, on social media, Marcos is portrayed a hero. Years of social media disinformation have whitewashed Marcos, sanitized his regime, transformed him into a man he never was. This reinvented Marcos - the Philippines 'best-ever' president who ruled over a 'golden age' - was the false legacy that helped his son, Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. become president in 2022.
