O knihe
It happened in the Philippines at the onset of WWII.
With the coming of the morning of April 8th 1942 surrender rumors circulated from the Filipino/American Headquarters at Mariveles, the sleepy barrio on the toe of the peninsula of Bataan. Fearful voices entered into the surrender debate asking questions of life and death. What would be the outcome? Would the surrender be conditional? Would the enemy honor their fallen foe? Were the rumors of a pogrom against the white soldiers true? After many hours of debate, practically all American/Filipino forces decided to honor the ensuing unconditional surrender. That is, all American forces except for two uncommon soldiers.
Thus follows the record of what happened deep in the jungles, mountains, and savannas of Bataan after the greatest defeat in the history of the United States Army. It is a story of forbidden discoveries, wondrous adventures, grand explorations, but more than anything else it is a story of love. It is a story of the ripping away of racial, ethnic, and spiritual bigotry from the hearts of two preordained white men, former sons of the American South, held captive by their own hearts while living in a world of golden hued people.
This is the reoccurring, and never ending story of love, striving valiantly to conquer evil outside the great Crown Ring of the Mariveles Mountains.
