Lots of authors have actually discussed the Philippines and other third world Asian countries, but I have never read anything like this. The details feel amazingly genuine.

The reader is left in no doubt that life in the Philippines, for a lot of the people is precarious at best, and occasionally downright unsafe. Disturbing the wrong people can quickly get you imprisoned, if you are lucky, and eliminated if you are not. Numerous foreigners who have started companies there have not lived to tell the tale. They have either become the victim of a regional powerful businessman or politician who wants their company, or most likely fallen victim to the "relatives" of their partner's milking them of their money. Reading "Deadly Election" reminded me of many of my own experiences in the nation. Though I will say that the Philippines is a stunning country and for the most part a terrific location to go to, however this book doesn't take place in the areas a traveler would visit.
