Description
AN INSPIRATIONAL BLOCKBUSTER WHERE THE DEFINITION OF "HERO" WAS SO COMMONPLACE BACK THEN--WHEN UNCOMMON VALOR WAS COMMON. This is a story of what true heroes were like during WW II in the Philippines. The book is for every American and Filipino: the student of Filipino history, military history buff, or just the average reader. The photos and maps alone tell much of the story and the glory of these brave men and women. It is also a tourist guide on places to go and see while visiting the Philippines. It is a book about the American and Filipino men and women who should be honored for their deeds back then, and now, for their daring and risky selfless acts, and their valor, whose very lives were at risk every day in order to save the Philippines from the invaders. And you will learn of the traitors, the collaborators, the cowards that have yet to be exposed. You will learn about the brave, fearless Guerrillas in every island of the Philippines, the courageous Philippine Scouts, the battle weary, starving, gallant men on Bataan, the last holdouts on Corregidor, the notorious sadistic Death March up to the heartbreaking, barbaric stories at Camp O'Donnell, Cabanatuan, Los Banos, Bilibid Prison, UST and the various rescues, and the torture chambers at Fort Santiago. You will also learn about the tortures, the killings, and the rapes of the civilians especially in the most fateful last days of the war in Manila. You will also learn about the courageous, inspiring underground civilians whose covert operations spied on the Japanese and passed on their gathered intelligence to the guerrillas and eventually to MacArthur. This is a must-read for everyone.
