Was there anything published? I assume you used Ed’s book “In the Midst of Wars” for your work? In my work I use his “ten centavo telegram” as the principal action that broke the back of the Huk rebellion. The comment you got from Dahayun (sp?) was typical of the leftist view (and yes I know you are from the Left) of the world that incremental change is never enough, and so they (you?) always crash and burn. What he misses is that the author of the solution (I mean Magsaysay not Lansdale) died before he could apply the lessons-learned. And naturally, Lansdale was ignored by the idiots in Washington who thought that they could kill their way to success. Anyway, I knew Bo and Ed and would love to read what you wrote even if unpublished.
