American Guerrilla: The Forgotten Heroics of Russell W. Volckmann

Review "Historians of the Philippine campaign have largely ignored Volckmann, focusing instead on conventional forces under MacArthur. Fortunately for Mr. Guardia, a serving Army officer, Volckmann kept a rudimentary diary for much of the period, describing how he managed to put together his "private army," one that waged arguably the most successful guerrilla campaign of the entire war. . . . Mr. Guardia argues, convincingly, that Volckmann deserves the title of 'father' of Special Forces."THE WASHINGTON TIMES, August 2010"This is a book anyone wanting to learn more about guerrilla warfare in the Philippines during World War II Japanese occupation should find interesting. For military history buffs and students of guerilla warfare, it's a must read."Gun Week..."a masterful job of revealing an unknown chapter of World War II."MilitaryCorrupttion.com"...an interesting, thought-provoking and well-written read..."Defenceweb South Africa"This book is highly recommended to people who are looking for a book that can teach about leadership. This is also a great read for people who are looking to know more about some of the low profile personalities during World War II that played a major role in helping the Allied Army to win." - BestBookLight.com About the Author
