American Guerrilla

The Forgotten Heroics of Russell W. Volckmann-the Man Who Escaped from Bataan, Raised a Filipino Army Against the Japanese, and Became the True "Father" of Army Special Forces

Buch

He disappeared into the jungles of north Luzon where he raised a Filipino army of over 22,000 men.

When General Yamashita finally surrendered, he made his initial overtures not to MacArthur, but to Volckmann. This book… Mehr
