The Award Winning Biography of Jose Rizal by Leon Ma. Guerrero Awarded First Prize in the Rizal Biography Contest under the auspices of the Jose Rizal National Centennial Commission in 1961 From the Author's Preface "I am aware that some aspects of this biography will prove to be controversial; it is not a hagiography but the story of a human being who, being human, was afflicted with the 'heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.' Rizal was not perfect, he was not always right, but I trust that those who read this story of his life will perceive that his humanity is precisely the secret of his greatness." Leon Ma Guerrero Embassy of the Philippines in London 19th June 1960 "Undoubtedly the best biography of the national hero." Carlos Quirino "If Filipinos read more about the national hero, they would not only get to know Rizal, but understand themselves better. One quick way to do this is to read Leon Ma. Guerrero's First Filipino." Ambeth Ocampo
