American guerrilla in the Philippines di Ira Wolfert
Amazing story. The life that was lead by these men was exceptionally dangerous. The ending, face buried in the ice cream bowl is one I have always liked.
½
Good personal narrative by a reporter who was on the scene.
Battle for the Solomons finds Ira Wolfert traveling with the troops on their way to and then with them into the Pacific battles for the Solomon Islands. As in some books written during actual wartime, this book has the curious quality of propaganda, reflecting the language and fervor of the era. There is also a sense of fast-paced, tense movement giving evidence of a war whose fate was still far from known.
287. American Guerrilla in the Philippines, by Ira Wolfert (read 8 Oct 1946) When I read this in October 1946 my comment was: "Gruesomely realistic, but poorly written."
