Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - Compilation of first person accounts of mainly World War II, with a few on the post-war anti-Huk and bandit campaigns, Korea and Vietnam, by Filipino veterans from the town of Alcala, Pangasinan. The author was a teenage guerrilla at that time, and he writes of his guerrilla memories in several sections. Other veterans were interviewed, or asked to write, by the author. A number of them served with the Philippine Scouts, others with the 21st Division, Philippine Army, others with the guerrillas and the post-war regular Philippine armed forces. This work brings out genuine Filipino voices of resistance against the Japanese and the dangers faced. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
