Dare & Live is the tale of an incredible World War II Survivor who created a
guerrilla army to battle the Japanese in Negros Islands, Philippines
after the battles for Bataan and Corrigedor were lost during World War II.
M/Sgt. Jorge G. Herrera, Jr. discovered just what kind of a soldier he was
when the Imperial Japanese Forces invaded Negros Islands in the Philippines
during World War II. His heroic tale can now finally be told in an exciting
new book, "Dare & Live".
M/Sgt. Herrera vowed he would never surrender; so he gathered 3 Filipinos
and they started the recruitment and training of other guerrilla soldiers. He
staged many ambushes against the Japanese soldiers and was the only Filipino
Guerrila Leader who captured, alive, 21 Japanese soldiers in an ambush
encounter.
To try to capture him, the Japanese army even hired a Filipina Spy and sent
her on a secret mission to entrap M/Sgt. Herrera, but he soon discovered the
plot before it could unfold.
His war records were exemplary that he earned commendations from one the
highest officials of the Republic of the Philippines.
Honorable Ramon Nolan, Former Philippines Ambassador to the United States
said of M/Sgt. Herrera:
"Your war achievements might have been duplicated, but they could never have
been excelled by any other soldier".
"Dare & Live" is a story of how raw courage can win in the face of overwhelming
odds. It is an uplifting story for Readers of all ages. |
