One American Hunted by 50,000 Japanese : But He Built a "SECRET" Army no one noticed

THE ENGINEER WHO BUILT AN ARMY: Wendell Fertig's Guerrilla War (1942-1945) This is the true story of how a 41-year-old mining engineer from Colorado promoted himself to Brigadier General, built an army of 32,000 Filipino guerrillas from nothing, created a functioning government with its own currency, and held an entire island against 50,000 Japanese troops for three years—all without any contact with Allied command.
