Title: The Intrepid Guerrillas Of North Luzon
First published: June 1999
Description: "North Luzon is home to some of the most forbidding terrain in the Philippines. Following the Japanese invasion of the islands in 1942, it was also the staging area for several Filipino-American guerrilla bands who sought to gather intelligence and to destroy enemy military installations or supplies."--BOOK JACKET.

"Bernard Norling focuses on the Cagayan-Apayao Forces, or CAF, commanded by Maj Ralph Praeger. Their bravery was unquestionable, but by September 1943 all but one member of Troop C had been claimed by combat, enemy capture, or disease."--BOOK JACKET.

"Based primarily upon unpublished sources, The Intrepid Guerrillas of North Luzon includes the diary of Jones, Praeger's executive officer, and draws on transcripts of radio communications between Praeger and General MacArthur's headquarters in Australia."--BOOK JACKET.

"The struggles of the men of the CAF tell a harrowing tale of valor, determination, and occasional successes mixed with the wildcat schemes, rivalries, mistrust, and betrayals that characterized the intramural relations of guerrilla forces all over the Pacific islands."--BOOK JACKET.
