By: David L. Mathews

On November 29th, 1989, David L. Mathews touched down in the Philippines, a place very near and dear to him. However, this trip would not be his typical leisurely vacation. Not long after his arrival, David is woken up by the sound of explosions. When he turns on his hotel TV, he can barely comprehend the news report: Manila is being bombed by rebel forces. What follows is the true story of what Mathews witnessed in the chaos and aftermath of the failed coup d'état-a tale full of adventure, danger, history, intrigue, and humor.
