The convent-educated girl who loved reading poetry and listening to Chopinand 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Philippines $x Biography. $y Japanese occupation, 1942-1945 $x Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z Philippines. 600 10 $a Guerrero, Josefina. 941 $a 5 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611011927.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728015456.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529011231.0 952 $l DIPB173 $d 20180707022648.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116015023.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45BAD2CC975411E680F0A79EDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
