I SEE THE PHILIPPINES RISE

by Carlos Romulo ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

A very disappointing book- perhaps because expectation has been built up over the two years Gen. Romulo has been ""winning friends and influencing people"" from the lecture platform. His personal magnetism, his contagious devotion to the cause of his people, have combined to make us feel that this book, rather than those that have intervened, would pick up the market of his popular I Saw the Fall of the Philippines. This is thin spun -- something about those two years, his warmth of feeling towards his hosts in the U.S.; his association with President Quezon, President Osmena; his urgent desire to respond instantly to MacArthur's summons; his final departure, after many delays; and the campaign which won Leyte-and eventually Manila. Nothing of the aftermath, about which we all long to learn the truth.
