In the middle of 1942, the Japanese landed
in Iloilo, deep in the heart of the Philippine Archipelago.
Earlier, like a skittish octopus, the Japanese Empire had
spread its tentacles across the islands, after the last
American strongholds of Bataan and Corregidor had
fallen.
Jose Lacambra was only eleven years old
when the Japanese occupied Iloilo. His firsthand account of
the adventures and rites of passage were drawn from a diary
he kept during those war years.
With wry wit and a
sharp memory for detail, he re-creates the horror, adventure
and excitement of those unforgettable years, describing them
all with a novelist's skill and style. |
