"From 1942 to 1945, a secret war raged in the Philippines without the aid of Allied troops. Fought in the teeming hell of the disease-infected jungle, isolated from any outside help by the Japanese-controlled seas of the South Pacific, it was led by one courageous young American.
In 1941, Lieutenant Ed Ramsey was a brash 24-year-old from Wichita, Kansas, serving in the 26th Cavalry, when the Japanese invasion of the Philippines thrust him into all the horrors of total war. After leading the last cavalry charge in U.S. history at Morong in early 1942, Lt. Ramsey and the 26th were trapped behind enemy lines.
Ramsey survived his army's bloody defeat but refused to surrender as a P.O.W. to the Japanese death march. Instead he joined the scattered Filipino guerrilla forces struggling against Japanese domination and made the extraordinary transition from soldier to war rebel."
