- Summary, etc. - This book is a compilation of essays, personal experiences, excerpts from diaries and interviews, and articles by persons who experienced the war in the Ilocos, or were prominent Ilocanos (like Josefa Llanes Escoda).

Valera (a Filipino-American who led a commando team who landed on the Stingray), Josefa Llanes Escoda, and Lt. Charles “Chick” E. Parsons (US Navy liaison officer with MacArthur’s headquarters, who organized the submarine missions to the Philippines), Silver Guillermo (guerrilla leader) and Eishiro Baba (a local Japanese who turned out to be a Japanese officer). - Prof. Ricardo T.
