Go had taken a strong anti-Japanese stand before the war, and once it had broken out and the Japanese threatened to take Manila, he was a wanted man. He evacuated Manila to seek refuge, but was arrested by USAFFE intelligence agents who mistook him as a spy. Returned to Manila, he again evacuated to the hills to escape the Japanese.
In this book he details his fears, close calls and difficulties while successfully evading the Japanese while remaining in touch with American Protestant missionaries who were aiding American prisoners of war. Although born Buddhist, Go converted to Christianity and was indebted to American missionaries, among them Mary Boyd Stagg, Helen Wilk and Hawthorne Darby (all of whom the Japanese later caught and executed). The 1,105 days Go spent seeking refuge strengthened his faith and gave him hope. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
