Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is predominately about the Japanese invasion, occupation, and eventual defeat in the Philippine island of Mindanao from 1941 to 1945. Mindanao is the largest of the three land masses in the Philippines. Although the struggle was essentially between the Japanese forces and a combination of Filipinos and a minority of United States forces in Mindanao, it brings into the historical account other battles in the War in the Pacific. All major players, on both sides, are researched and bought into this gruesome, genuine historical account. Their photographs, where possible, are included – as are their existences, although sometimes briefly. During the struggle against the Japanese invasion and eventual defeat in Mindanao, a very large force of resident Muslim guerillas (Moros) was involved. This side of the struggle is examined and researched thoroughly.
