| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Careful, documented personal account, based on the author's diary, his memories, unpublished diaries and consultations with fellow internees. The Mansell family was on its way to Africa as American missionaries, but got caught in the Philippines by the threat of war. The author was eighteen at the time. The family was sent to Baguio where things would probably be safer. Instead, the family witnessed bombings on the first day of the war, got caught in the confusion in the city and was interned before 1941 was over. Mansell details the internment experience from the time the Japanese arrived in Baguio through initial internment in Camp John Hay, almost three years in Camp Holmes and the dangerous transfer to Bilibid in December 1944. He narrates their liberation in Bilibid and the Battle of Manila as he saw it. Mansell returned to several of the sites later and provides photographs of the places he was in as they were when he returned. This is one of the definitive accounts of the Baguio internees, not based on memory alone, but on diligent research. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
