In Dauntless, Marie Silva Vallejo tells the unknown story of the 1st and 2nd Filipino regiments, US Army who fought in the Philippines, and the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion that undertook secret submarine missions to the different islands. President Roosevelt created this unique Filipino unit to fight in the islands two and a half years before Gen. MacArthur returned. Only MacArthur and key members of his staff knew of these top-secret missions.
