The Fateful Years (Japan's Adventure In The Philippines 1941-45, Volume 2)

The Fateful Years: Volume 2 discusses the social and economic conditions of the country: the cultural aspect of the occupation; the underground movement; the controversy in Washington, D.C. over the presidential succession; the flight of the Laurel government; and the return of the liberation forces. In assessing the Japanese adventure in the Philippines during the fateful years 1941-1945, Mr Agoncillo explains its tragic features as basically rooted in the failure of the Japanese to understand the implications of Philippine history and the psychology of the Filipinos.
