nMarcos died a dictator. But today, on social media, Marcos is a hero.n nPresident Ferdinand E. Marcos held power for 21 years and lost power in four days. What happened and why is recounted in this memoir by Keith Dalton, a decade-long former foreign correspondent in the Philippines. He writes of a ruthless and repressive dictatorship - responsible for more than 100,000 deaths, imprisonments, torture, and disappearances. Through despotism, nepotism, and corruption, Marcos built an empire of greed until he was overthrown in a People Power revolution in 1986.n nDecades after his death, Marcos has been reinvented - mythologised and propagandised - by social media disinformation which claims it was a golden age and Marcos was the nations best-ever president. This false legacy helped Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr. win the presidency in 2022. Dalton remembers an autocrat and a bloody age when Marcos politically gutted and economically plundered the nation. Reinventing Marcos is his account of the 10 years he was there. n
