Japanese Occupation of the Philippines: A


Pictorial History
By Dr Ricardo Trota-Jose and Dr Lydia Yu-Jose

This is for the reading-challenged. It’s quite


enjoyable and a great resource, mostly wartime
photos but you can be sure of the historical accuracy
because the book is by renowned WWII historian
and expert Dr. Rico Jose

Rays of a Setting Sun: A Recollection of


World War II
By Eliseo D. Rio

The eyewitness account of Colonel Eliseo Rio (father


of the now-DICT secretary), published by the family,
covers a wide range of wartime events – including
the bombing of Camp John Hay, the Battle of
Bataan, and the Guerrilla movement in the Visayas.

The Battle of Ising: The Untold Story of the


130th Infantry Regiment in the Liberation of
Mindanao in the Philippines
By Marie Silva-Vallejo

This is a well-researched book about a little-known


battle in Ising (now the municipality of Carmen in
Davao del Norte). The author had the privilege to be
in the United States and access all these information
and photos about the Filipino resistance in Mindanao
from archives and museums. From her data
gathering, she was able to put together the story
about her father, Lieutenant Colonel Saturnino Silva and
his men and the almost forgotten Battle of Ising.

Cadet, Soldier, Guerrilla Fighter: Remembering


Bataan and Corregidor
By Pepi Nieva

This tells the stories of Antonio A. Nieva, who survived


the Bataan Death March and was imprisoned. He was
later released and yet still joined the Hunters-ROTC
Guerrillas – who were mostly “just” college students but
became one of the biggest guerrilla groups. It would be
interesting to read how these young men and women,
some just teenagers, would choose the path to fight for
their country.

Frustrated Ambition: General Vicente Lim and


the Philippine Military Experience, 1910–1944
By Richard Bruce Meixsel

Prior to WWII, General Lim was the most famous Filipino


soldier. He was the first Filipino to graduate from West
Point, Command and Staff College and the War College.
He then decided to join the newly-formed Philippine
Army. Then the war happened. This new book by
Meixsel wants to show us that Lim should also be
considered the greatest Filipino soldier ever.

This is a book that General Aguilar would proudly hark. Not only did it take history in the
eyes of a Filipino, it also critiqued the past accounts of the war from the American
authors. Lim commanded the Philippine Army’s 41st Division, which was more
successful than its American counterparts in the defense of Bataan. Lim was captured
by the Japanese and released. He decided to join the guerrillas and was later executed.
This is a great companion to Lim’s To Inspire and To Lead: The
Letters of Gen. Vicente Lim, 1938-1942.

Living with the Enemy: A diary of the Japanese


Occupation
By Pacita Pestaño-Jacinto

The diary contains entries coming from different perspectives, while


its writing is easily understandable – the reader will be moved by the
struggles and horrors witnessed by these WWII survivors.
