Burrell offers a deep analysis on five distinct Philippine resistance movements during World War II: President Quezon’s Own Guerrillas, Luzon Guerrilla Army Forces, Free Panay Guerilla Forces, the Hukbalahap Army, and the Mindanao Guerrilla Resistance Movement. He delineates how centuries of conflict and resistance shaped a unique Philippine resistance ethos, leading to the emergence of hundreds of guerrilla groups from various ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. Burrell also draws parallels between these historical movements and modern strategies, noting how support to resistance movements has rarely been implemented in US war planning.
