Originally published in 1990, Rizal Without the Overcoat uncovers the man behind the glorified hero. With his meticulous research rendered in his distinctly accessible voice, Ambeth R. Ocampo takes Jose Rizal away from the mythos that history has created for him, and gives us instead a seemingly human figure. Celebrating its 35th anniversary with a new preface and a restored article from the first edition, Ocampo revisits Rizal and the different perspectives on his life and works in this collection of essays."
