| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Sequel to Romulo's "I Saw the Fall of the Philippines", this book is a journalistic account of the war in the Philippines from 1944. Romulo recounts his days in Washington D.C. with the exiled Commonwealth government, his excitement at being ordered to join Gen. MacArthur's headquarters and landing at Leyte together with MacArthur and President Osmeña. He continues with his experiences in liberated Leyte; a brief return to the U.S., and then joining the Fil-American forces in their return to Manila and Bataan (and reuniting with his family, whom he had left behind for over three years). He also discusses the guerrilla resistance movement, many of whose officers he knew personally. The book ends with the creation of the war against Japan and the eve of Philippine independence. At the time he wrote this book, Romulo was Philippine Resident Commissioner to the United States and head of the Philippine delegation to the San Francisco Conference which formally gave birth to the United Nations. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
