- Summary, etc. - American journalist's account of Japan's expansion in Asia from 1940. Gunnison was a writer for the magazine Collier's and had been on assignment to Asia, covering America's island possessions in the Pacific, colonized Southeast Asia and China. He was in Manila, with his wife, when the war broke out; he provides an eyewitness account of Manila's reaction to the war, the air raids, defense preparations, Quezon and other political leaders. Gunnison was able to meet a Japanese general on the eve of Japan's take over of Manila, and describes conditions when the Japanese did enter. Gunnison was interned in Santo Tomas, and he writes at length about his experiences there. His wife, also a journalist, is given some space to write her piece on Santo Tomas. Gunnison also gives a first-person account of the surrender of Corregidor through his interview with Japanese writer Kazumaro Uno, who was at the surrender (Gunnison met Uno in Shanghai while being repatriated). He also writes about Filipino attitudes to Japan, based on what he heard. In September 1942, he, his wife and other select Americans were repatriated out of Manila to Shanghai, where they had some freedom at first, but were interned for a while later. Eventually the group was brought to the Gripsholm which sailed to the US. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
