Unlike the other islands in the archipelago, Mindanao had a large Moslem (Moro) population. Using Moro and American leadership he brought the Moro people into the movement. Fertig lacked good communication with MacArthur's headquarters in Australia. With ingenuity and talented technical personnel he solved this problem, and increased the logistical support for the guerrillas by submarine from Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As the force expanded, Fertig was fortunate to recruit leadership from 187 Americans--military and civilian--who had not surrendered to the Japanese. The resulting force, with its intelligence from coastal watch stations, added six guerrilla divisions to U.S. military strength for the 1945 liberation of Mindanao, a contribution unique in the history of unconventional warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kent Holmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786498250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786498253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.84h x 6.46w x 0.49d","brand":"Kent Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072766374143,"sku":"9780786498253","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_547dccdc-ef3e-417e-93a1-a4eec782e67c.jpg?v=1685443868","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wendell-fertig-and-his-guerrilla-kent-holmes-9780786498253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
