Overview

Following the Japanese invasion of the islands in 1942, North Luzon was the staging area for several Filipino-American guerrilla bands that sought to gather intelligence and destroy enemy military installations or supplies. Focusing on the men of the Cagayan-Apayao Forces, Bernard Norling offers a harrowing account of valor, determination, and occasional successes mixed with the wildcat schemes, rivalries, and betrayals that characterized the intramural relations of guerrilla forces all over the Pacific islands.
