Secret Mission to the Philippines

About the Book

Chick Parsons was a shadowy, will-of-the-wisp figure, who sailed from Australia eight times by submarine, to enemy-occupied Mindanao, in the Philippines. There he coordinated the American-Filipino guerilla movement, and by war’s end had become one of America’s most decorated heroes. A TV documentary film, “Parsons, King Of Spies,” is currently in production.
