| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account, ghostwritten by an American journalist, of an American guerrilla in Leyte. St. John was an enlisted man in the 14th Bombardment Squadron, sent to the Philippines in September 1941. He was at Clark Field when it was bombed at the start of the war. He, and several members of his squadron, was taken to Mindanao on the steamship Mayon; he was at Malabang when news of the surrender came. He went to Del Monte, and with some friends planned to escape to Australia, but wound up in Leyte instead, where he joined the guerrillas. The bulk of the memoir (one of the first to come out of the Philippines after MacArthur returned) focuses on St. John's adventures as a guerrilla officer in Leyte, climaxing with the return of the Americans and his rejoining American forces. Much on his relations with friendly Filipinos. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
