Birth of the Philippine Guerilla Movement with John Bruning

John Bruning joins Paridon and Parshall to dig into the Philippine guerrilla movement's messy origins — Harry Fenton, James Cushing, Chick Parsons, and the internecine violence, betrayal, and backstabbing that defined the early resistance. This isn't the sanitised heroic-resistance narrative; Bruning gets into the murders, the turf wars, and the personalities who made the movement as dangerous to its own members as to the Japanese. Bruning clearly knows this material cold, and the long runtime gives it room to breathe.
