Fire In The Jungle

Many are familiar with the resistance movements in Europe during WWII, however, few are aware of the resistance of the Filipinos against the Japanese during the same time. This book brings awareness and demonstrates how the resistance against the Japanese was prototypic of a successful resistance movement. Notably, resistance operations in the Philippines were of paramount importance to the formation of US Army Special Forces and its originating doctrine. The Philippine resistance movement has not been studied in any detail by American historians, yet the U.S. played a vital role in the organization and ultimate success of the movement. This book seeks to fill some of this void by contributing a historical study of one organization within the resistance movement - the 10th Military District on Mindanao.
