About This Item
New York, NY: Pocket Books, 1988. Mass Market Paperback. Fine. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 333 pages. The Phillipines, 1943: In the titanic struggle for the Pacific, no front was more vital to the Allied cause. From Mac Arthur's withdrawal, to the Bataan Death March and the ferocious Japanese occupation, thousands of Americans and Filipinos died. But in the jungles, a few stayed alive to fight again. In this remarka b le military memoir, Ray Hunt tells his own harrowing story of escape, survival and the birth of a guerrila fighting force under his command. Given up for dead by his family, a price put on his head by the Japanese, Hunt lived and fought among heroes and traitors, witnessed the suffering and the courage-and made the hard, painful choices of war as he led his ragtag army against the Japanese in L u zo n. Three years later, as the Allies landed, Hunt and his guerrillas were on the front lines again-leading the charge to give the Phillipines back to her people. "A gem of a WWII memoir.it makes w ar n ovels look pale." - Washington Times. 2 very light creases on the front cover..
