Commissioned by the guerrilla veterans’ organization, the thick volume details defense preparations and conditions just prior to the war, the experience of Panay Island during the siege of Bataan and Corregidor (its main defense unit, the 61st Division, Philippine Army, was broken up and parts were sent to Mindanao); refusal of majority of the officers and men to heed surrender orders and the organization of guerrilla resistance units. The author follows with a detailed, comprehensive account of the activities of the guerrilla organization which came to be united as the 6th Military District, under Col. Macario Peralta. Many actual documents are cited verbatim in the text, and several veterans provided their own memoirs and monographs to the project, making this a definitive account. Ends with the role of the guerrillas in the liberation of Panay, and the injustice meted them by the US in not providing adequate recognition after the war. - Prof. Ricardo T.
