A Little Bit Of Literature

Hawk once again dear www surfers ! I've just finished reading an amazing book written by J.W.Pomeroy simply called "The Forest". Let me briefly review the plot to you... The book is a personal history of the Huk Guerrilla struggle in the Philippines, a true story of a man named Bill (an American soldier and author of the book - all in one) and a girl named Celia. Theirs was a love so great that they survived in an army fighting in a jungle for two years. Actually the period described appears to be the time after WW2 (1950-1952). The Forest shows its readers the primitive but devoted to insurrection way of life of the HMB movement in the dangerous rainforest deeps of the Philippino Island - Central Luzon. Although the book is pretty old (my revision was from 1974 :o] ), so that it is properly "infused" by Communist's Ideology, I don't think that it shouldn't interest you. This is a story in which all people can help to make a fitting end. Also if you like, you can have a look at my presentation or doc that will tell you more about it. The book has about 250 pages... recommending !
