Some People Need Killing
by Patricia Evangelista
Widely regarded as one of the most important nonfiction books of the decade, Patricia Evangelista’s extraordinary memoir-reportage blends personal history with a fearless account of the Duterte regime’s brutal drug war in the Philippines. As a young journalist covering extrajudicial killings, she bears witness to a society unraveling — and to the courage of families, activists, and ordinary people navigating terror. Evangelista writes with precision, empathy, and moral clarity, transforming atrocity into testimony. It’s a difficult book, but a necessary one: a reminder of how propaganda, fear, and power shape truth, and how storytelling can become an act of resistance.
