| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account of a West Point graduate and professional US Army officer sent to the Philippines in 1940. Assigned as senior US instructor to the mobilizing 11th Infantry Regiment, Volckmann describes the problems the regiment faced in training; the sudden onslaught of war and his abruptly becoming regimental commander; the Japanese invasion, withdrawal to Bataan and holding the lines for three months. When Bataan surrendered, Volckmann chose not to follow the orders and escaped, eventually making his way to northern Luzon where he was able to unify guerrilla units into the USAFIP NL (US Army Forces in Northern Luzon), one the most successful guerrilla organizations in the Philippines. Discusses the successes and failures of fighting a guerrilla war, becoming recognized by MacArthur and fighting as more organized forces in the campaigns to free northern Luzon from the Japanese. Published at the height of the Cold War, Volckmann also includes a chapter on the role of guerrilla resistance in wars of the future. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
