{"product_id":"the-walk-ruth-hale-cobb-hill-9781630100056","title":"The Walk: My Journey of Survival of the Japanese Military Occupation of Manila","description":"I was invited by the Bataan Historical Society to be part of a panel asked to present our life experiences during WWII in the Philippines. I came to a realization that I always found it difficult to write about the war. From the time we were liberated in 1945 from the clutches of the Japanese Military, I would jot down notes about incidents I recalled. The thoughts in these notes were usually without beginnings or endings. Then I would get rid of them, not knowing why. They seemed important at the time. When I was teaching Tagalog at Berkeley, I found myself rewriting those \"beginnings\" in the Tagalog language. I was surprised to find myself producing streams of thoughts that had coherent beginnings and endings. All of them were about the war. I realized that the Filipino side of me was the active speaker. I am half Anglo-American and half Filipina. What did the Filipina side have that made her able to speak? I have decided it is time to write about that of which I had not been aware.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Hale Cobb Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1630100056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781630100056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Downey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.18d","brand":"Ruth Hale Cobb Hill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125101392127,"sku":"9781630100056","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65814290-075b-4d0d-96d1-a1f088ef1642.jpg?v=1687440646","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-walk-ruth-hale-cobb-hill-9781630100056","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
