Requests:  0 Summary:  "In 1944, as World War II raged in the Pacific, a young, vivacious Filipino woman with leprosy named Josefina Guerrero was swept up in the underground guerrilla movement in Manila. The convent-educated girl who loved reading poetry and listening to Chopin and Beethoven became one of the most reliable and courageous spies for the United States in the Pacific Theater, putting her life at risk for no reward but to help the Americans oust the Japanese occupiers from her homeland. She stalked through the woods, mapping machine-gun turrets around Manila Bay and delivering the maps to the United States so Gen. Douglas MacArthur's troops knew where to drop bombs. She penetrated Japanese munitions holdings and alerted underground leaders. She secreted food and medicine to U.S. prisoners of war being tortured and starved in internment camps"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Biography B Montgomery Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.54867 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.54867 Mo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
