Philippines' Resistance: The Last Allied Stronghold in the Pacific Paperback – September 10, 2017

In very clear documentation of Philippine resistance to Japanese occupiers in WW II, numerous events and names are mentioned. These Filipinos, both male and female will always be remembered for their valour. Further recognition by the U.S. and other countries should be ongoing pages of history in our books!

My wife is from the Philippines and I’ve been there many times, so I found this audio book interesting and informative. Plenty of details of the people and events you won’t hear about in a typical book on the fighting in the Philippines during World War Two. The narration on the other hand, was annoyingly fast…like listening to a teenager tell a story. Also the repeated strange pronouncing of Mindanao, (should be min-de-NOW), was really irritating.

Shallow, indifferent scholarship.

Philippines’ Resistance was a very illuminating and educational book to read. It shows about the true heroes of the WWII in the Philippines, and just by looking at the gorgeous cover, you see the power and the will of the people.This book showed how these heroes fought for survival and freedom and fought for others in those horrible times. It's a short but well-written book, full of captivating images that helped a lot to connect to the history and to the people in the book.The book showed the history through the locals eyes and those who fought for the land, and how they had to survive and what they needed to do, in order to overcome the horrors of the war.It was a powerful book to read and very knowledgeable, I was really loving the information on a place I know very little of, and gave me the chance to learn more about this beautiful land and about the power of the peopleFor more reviews check out my blog Coffee n' Notes.
