| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal memoir, aided by an American historian, of an American Air Corps sergeant who saw the Japanese attack on Clark Field, fought in Bataan, escaped the Death March, with the aid of Filipinos, and joined the guerrillas in Central Luzon. Hunt eventually was given command of the guerrillas in Pangasinan, and fought with the returning Americans to defeat the Japanese. Provides interesting views on the Filipino and American guerrillas; however, not all the comments are complimentary. This book was based on Hunt's memoirs written in the 1960s, buttressed by Norling's extensive research and contact with other surviving American guerrillas. Norling was an American historian (emeritus professor of Notre Dame University in the US; he has passed away) who was especially interested in the resistance movement in Luzon; he wrote or co-authored several other important works regarding the Luzon guerrillas. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
