Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - Comprehensive researched account on Americans interned during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, moving beyond the personal experiences and identifying commonalities and seeking deeper interpretations. The author explores Japanese administration, food, health, work, shelter and liberation in the various camps around the Philippines. She also delves into why the US State Department did not encourage American civilians to leave the Philippines while the Navy and the Army ordered most dependents to the US. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
