Rodrigo Duterte: Fire and Fury in the Philippines Audiobook (Free)

The first biography of Rodrigo Duterte, the murderous, unpredictable president of the Philippines, a fascinating, fearsome man and the embodiment of populism inside our time.

Rodrigo Duterte was elected Leader from the Philippines in 2016. In his initial eighteen a few months in office, 12,000 people were murdered around the roads, gunned down by cops and vigilante citizens-all along with his encouragement.

Duterte is a serial womaniser and a self-confessed killer, who has called both Barack Obama about Rodrigo Duterte: Fire and Fury in the Philippines and Pope Francis ‘sons of whores.’ He’s on record as saying he does not ‘provide a shit’ about individual rights. Yet he is beloved from the 16.6 million Filipinos who voted for him, viewed as vulgar but honest, a breath of fresh air, and an iconoclastic, anti-imperialist rebel.

Through interviews with Duterte himself, his sister, daughter and son, two former presidents, previous friends, death squad hitmen, and relatives of his victims, Channel 4 News’s Asia Correspondent Jonathan Miller implies that definately not the media cartoon of The Godfather, John Wayne, Hugo Chavez, and Donald Trump rolled into one, Duterte is a sinister, dangerous man, who should not be taken lightly.
