Waltzing with a dictator is a startling report on America's twenty-year alliance with the conjugal dictatorship of Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, Imelda. It is a story of power and greed abroad and ideological warfare in Washington over America's support of one of the worl's most avaricious rulers. Based on hundreds of interviews and nearly 3,000 previously classified government documents, this is the extraordinarily compelling and timely account of how and why one of this century's most corrupt dictators was tolerated and even supported by the five U.S. administrations.
