huntssurplus Posted June 18, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2019 Hello, Looking for some book recommendations on the US Liberation of the Philippines in 1944-1945. Would like to read more about this as I do not know more than basic information on the battle. Let me know if you have any good suggestions!Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindit Posted June 19, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 19, 2019 Hello, Check out the book "Rampage" by James Scott. I am reading it now. It is narrowly focused on the Battle of Manila and the trial of Gen. Yamashita. Very interesting reading so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindit Posted June 19, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 19, 2019 Just came to me--if you really want detail you should check out "Triumph in the Phillippines"by Robert Ross Smith. It's part of the US Army in WWII series published by the Center of Military History, U.S. Army, Washington, DC. A county or large library would probably be able to track it down.

lettow Posted June 19, 2019 Share #5 Posted June 19, 2019 An entertaining read on a small part of the operations in the Philippines can be found in Mission ISRM. It is about the clandestine radio operation on Mindoro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntssurplus Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted June 19, 2019 I'll give both of those book a look! It seems there isn't too many books written on the liberation of Philippines? At least from what I could find on Amazon. Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted June 19, 2019 Share #7 Posted June 19, 2019 I read a great book on Corregidor a few years ago. Can't remember for sure, but think it was Corregidor, The Rock Force Assault, 1945 by Flanagan. very well done. I'll try to confirm that is the book. Man, what a battle! I finished reading "Rampage" just a couple of months ago. It was a well done book about the battle for Manila. It shows a lot of the horrors the civilians had to endure while the battle was fought around them. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
