One midnight in March 1943, from a submarine off the coast of Mindanao, Charles Parsons, Lieutenant Commander, USNR, raced ashore in a rubber boat as bullets whined and pinged around him. Miraculously this one-man invasion two years before MacArthur's return, was successful, and Chick Parsons disappeared into the brush alongside loyal Filipinos to help them harass, spy upon, and fight to a finish the Japanese oppressors. ***Parsons was picked to head Spyron (Spy Squadron) because he knew the terrain, the people, and the language like a native---and because he had the coolheaded, quick-thinking courage necessary for such a dangerous mission. It turned out to be an assignment packed with suspense, secret landings on hostile shores, sudden encounters with the enemy, hairbreadth escapes and unforgettable courage. He needed sound judgment and expert diplomacy to weld the scattered, suspicious guerilla bands into an effective fighting force. How he did this, how he encouraged them, arranged to have them supplied with food and ammunition, and helped them attain triumphs side by side with the American liberators make an inspiring and thrilling story. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
