N1  - The author’s father, a U.S. army officer, arrived in the Philippines in November 1941 and was assigned to the defence of the port of Davao.  Pages 33-47 cover his experiences until surrender, including the orders to surrender the troops under his command. - Roderick Hall
N2  - Personal account by a young American whose father was captured in the Philippines.

Wanting to contribute his share in the war and to find his father, Hilsman joined the armed forces and was assigned to the top secret Office of Strategic Services. He is sent to Southeast Asia where he operated behind Japanese lines collecting intelligence and assisting anti-Japanese resistance movements. As the war ended, Hilsman was detailed to a POW rescue mission in Manchuria. One of the POWs his team liberated was his father, thus culminating a three and a half year search across oceans.

Hilsman’s memoir devotes one chapter to his father’s experiences in Mindanao (he was a staff officer in the Visayas-Mindanao Force) and as a prisoner of war.  - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
