This is the story of Claire Phillips who in her own way fought a war against the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II. Married to an American soldier, she moved messages from Manila to the POW camps and the guerrilla troops in the mountains. She established the Tsubaki Club in Manila that catered to Japanese forces to obtain information that was passed on to aid anti-Japanese efforts. The book covers not only her actions, but also those of many other non-interned women in the Philippines who operated in similar manners to thwart the Japanese military. A clean very presentable new copy. Inscribed by Author(s). Nº de ref. del artículo: 010015
