First serialized in Rappler, one of the Philippine’s top news websites, Evangelista’s authoritative--even definitive--account of former President Rodrigo Duterte’s drug war covers both the policy decisions that facilitated the thousands of extrajudicial killings committed by both the police and vigilantes, as well as the human and social costs this incurred on the country. Her deeply reported narrative draws on interviews with police, vigilantes, family members of the victims, and many others and displays Evangelista's skill and empathy as a writer.
