In this 1950 memoir, The Crucible: An Autobiography by Colonel Yay, Filipina American Guerrilla, Panlilio narrates her experience as a journalist, triple agent, leader in the Philippine resistance against the Japanese, and lover of the guerrilla general Marcos V. Augustin. From the war-torn streets of Japanese-occupied Manila, to battlegrounds in the countryside, and the rural farmlands of central California, Panlilio blends wry commentary, rigorous journalistic detail, and popular romance. Weaving together appearances by Douglas MacArthur and Carlos Romulo with dangerous espionage networks, this work provides an insightful perspective on the war. The Crucible invites readers to see new intersections in Filipina/o, Asian American, and American literature studies, and Denise Cruz's introduction imparts key biographical, historical, and cultural contexts to that purpose.World War, 1939-1945Underground movementsPhilippinesWomen guerrillasPhilippinesBiographyWomen journalistsPhilippinesBiographyWorld War, 1939-1945Personal narratives, Filipino AmericanWorld War, 1939-1945Participation, FemaleFilipino AmericansBiographyIrish AmericansBiographyWorld War, 1939-1945Underground movementsWomen guerrillasWomen journalistsWorld War, 1939-1945World War, 1939-1945Participation, Female.Filipino AmericansIrish Americans959.9Panlilio Yay1913-1978.1716194MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808620603321The crucible4111370UNINA
