- Summary, etc. - Personal account of an American missionary who left China seeking safer grounds in the Philippines. Together with three American-Chinese children, the author arrived in Manila in early November 1941, only to be caught by the start of war a month later. He was interned in Santo Tomas but, as a missionary, was allowed to live outside internment camp. As with other religious officials, he was encouraged to collaborate with the Japanese, but refused. He was kept under house arrest until reinterned in 1944 and transferred to Los Baños Internment Camp. He then describes the dramatic liberation of the camp in detail, as he saw it. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
