The Good Fight: The Autobiography of Manuel L. Quezon

THE GOOD FIGHT

[The true story of the man who started as a young revolutionary to fight against the American people and their flag, who fought bravely, who surrendered and gave his parole in Bataan, who took to his heart the great democratic principles of America, who inculcated them in his own people, and who forty years later threw himself and his brave countrymen back into the hell of Bataan and Corregidor when the American flag was attacked by a treacherous enemy. This story is told in President Quezon’s own words.]

By Manuel Luis Quezon
