This book (220pg) by amerikan communist William Pomeroy is about the post-WWII armed struggle of the Filipino resistance group Hukbalahap (aka Huk) against the puppet Filipino governments that were simply the local running dogs of amerikkkan imperialism, and many of who were actually colonial officials during the period of amerikkkan colonial occupation and also during the fascist japanese occupation. The Hukbalahap was originally created on 29 March 1942, shortly after the japanese occupation of the phillipines and the start of mass repression that the japanese carried out routinely in it's occupied territories. It was created as an armed resistance organization to the japanese fascists, and was composed of communists, socialists, and trade unionists, and occupation wise made up mainly of peasants, with a smaller percentage of workers.
