They Fought Alone

[kragluver]

They Fought Alone by Keats - This is a fascinating read about the American and Filipino guerrilla efforts on Mindanao during WW2 led by Col Wendell Fertig. Anyone interested in Special Warfare or unconventional histories about WW2 will find this book very interesting. My copy is dated 1963 but I understand there was a later edition copyrighted 1990. I highly recommend this book. Col Wendell Fertig was a true American and Filipino hero and unfortunately, history has all but forgotten his efforts.

The Wikipedia article on Fertig is quite good if you are interested.
