Among the extremely limited English-language literature on the Chinese resistance movement in the Philippines during the Japanese occupation, this book is unique in making use of documents from the United States National Archives, supplemented by memorials and articles recently published in China and the Philippines. While the reliability of these original sources is questionable, the author has dealt openly with the difficulty of interpreting these sources, making every effort to compare contradictory accounts objectively. She had also summarized the characteristics of the Chinese resistance movement in its historical and social context, while addressing the long-term effects of the resistance movement on the Chinese community in the Philippines. The books thus fills an important gap in Philippine historiography on the Second World War.
