Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - Brief account of Santo Tomas Internment Camp and its liberation in 1945, told largely through the words of former internees and the personal knowledge of the author (he was a member of the 44th Tank Battalion whose tanks broke through Santo Tomas' main gate on February 3, 1945). The slim book also gives some details on the operations of the 44th Tank Battalion in Luzon and in Manila (Unfortunately the author does not write about his own experiences in more detail). - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
