- Summary, etc - "Miguel Perez-Rubio spent his childhood years in prewar Manila, Spain, and France. As a young man in World War II, he joined the guerrilla resistance against the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines, and suffered imprisonment and torture as well as the death of his entire family at the hands of Japanese soldiers. He witnessed the unfolding of key historical events, including the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the wreck of the Hindenburg, the 1952 Cairo riots, and the 1986 People Power Revolution. He personally met almost every Philippine president and served under three different administrations as chief protocol officer. Now, in Nine Lives, Ambassador Miguel Perez-Rubio recounts his exciting life in his own words. This memoir not only presents riveting accounts of a fascinating and eventful life, but gives readers a rare, personalized, insider's view of history of the twentieth century."
