True story of a small American and Philippino force in the Philippines led by Wendell Fertig. Following American surrender in 1942, Fertig and a small band of supporters chose to flee into the jungle and continue to resist the occupation. By 1944 they had managed to take control of the island's civil government and raised an army of some 35,000.

When the American forces in the Philippines surrendered in May 1942, a mining engineer named Wendell Fertig chose to take his chances in the jungle. What happened to him during nearly three years behind enemy lines is the amazing story that John Keats tells in They Fought Alone. With the aid of a handful of Americans who also refused to surrender, Fertig led thousands of Filipinos in a seemingly hopeless war against the Japanese. They made bullets from curtain rods; telegraph wire from iron fence. They fought off sickness, despair and rebellion within their own forces. Their homemade communications were MacArthur’s eyes and ears in the Philippines. When the Americans finally returned to Mindanao, they found Fertig virtually in control of one of the world’s largest islands, commanding an army of 35,000 men, and bringing a measure of hope to a beleaguered people. John Keats, who also served in the Philippines, captures all the pain, brutality, and courage of this incredible drama. They Fought Alone is a testament to the ingenuity and sheer guts of an authentic American hero.

They Fought Alone recounts the true story of the nearly three year period in which a handful of mostly American servicemen, led by U.S. Army Colonel Wendell Fertig, and many Filipinos, banded together on the island of Mindanao to protect the civilian population, harass a brutal occupying enemy, and to provide intelligence useful to the larger war effort. Fertig used his organizational and technical talents to meld a guerrilla force of an estimated 25-40,000 personnel, and by so doing, brought a measure of hope to a beleaguered people.

The life and tiems of Dorothy Parker. Because she said and wrote so many funny lines, it was widely presumed that Dorothy Parker's Life was a ceaselessly merry one. Seh did have a great deal of funbut Parker was also an artist tormented by her own merciless sensibilities, viewing mankind with a wry, hard suspicion.

( When the American forces in the Philippines surrendered...)
When the American forces in the Philippines surrendered in May of 1942, a mining engineer named Wendell Fertig chose to take his chances in the jungle. What happened to him during nearly three years far behind enemy lines is the amazing story that John Keats tells in They Fought Alone. With the aid of a handful of Americans who also refused to surrender, Fertig led thousands of Filipinos in a seemingly hopeless war against the Japanese. Fertig's forces, though extremely diverse, banded together to protect the civilian population and combat a ruthless enemy. Although Fertig and his men had extremely limited resources to insure survival, their ingenuity made them a fearsome force to be reckoned with. They made bullets from curtain rods; telegraph wire from iron fencing; and fought off sickness, despair, and rebellion within their own forces. Their homemade communications were MacArthur's eyes and ears in the Philippines. When the American army finally returned to Mindanao, they found Fertig virtually in control of one of the world's largest islands, commanding a guerilla army of 25,000 to 40,000, and at the head of a civil government with its own post office, law courts, currency, factories, and hospitals. Teeming with intrigue, adventure, and suspense, They Fought Alone is an extraordinary work of unadulterated nonfiction. Keats, who also served in the Philippines, has captured all the pain, brutality, and courage of this incredible drama, in which many memorable men and women played parts. But They Fought Alone is essentially the story of one man—a testament to the ingenuity and sheer guts of an authentic American hero. John C. Keats (1921-2000), an American writer and biographer, was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to write They Fought Alone. During his four years of research, Keats sifted through the diaries, memoranda, and tape-recorded conversations that gave form and meaning to this remarkable adventure. Keats accompanied Wendell Fertig on a three-month journey to the Philippines in 1959, where they spoke with hundreds of Filipinos who had served under Fertig's command.
