500			_aDorothy recalls the sacrifices of her family, the brutal treatment of civilians by the Japanese, and the vainglorious actions of some of the guerrilla leaders. - Roderick Hall
520			_aPersonal account by an American mestiza in Mindanao. Dorothy’s American father was a retired soldier who had fought in the campaigns against the Muslim Filipinos; in 1941 he was working in a coconut plantation as an administrator. Her mother was a Filipina mestiza. When the war broke out, she was in Silliman University in Dumaguete, and made it back to Mindanao. She joined the USAFFE as a nurse, but had to surrender to the Japanese. She and her family were imprisoned in Camp Casisang in Malaybalay. They were later rescued by guerrillas. Dorothy joined the guerrillas, fell in love with an American guerrilla officer, only to see him killed by hostile mountain people. Her mother and brother were captured by the Japanese and killed; her father died shortly after of disease. Alone, and with a baby, she remained unfazed and steadfast and stayed with the guerrillas as a teenage second lieutenant, serving as a nurse. She was reunited with her surviving brother after the war. She worked in US military hospitals in the Philippines after the war, before moving to the US. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
