By Sword and Fire

Description

By: Alfonso J. Aluit

This book, By Sword and Fire: The Destruction of Manila in World War II, 3 February – 3 March 1945, by Alfonso J. Aluit, is a milestone in the great task of implementing the aims of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCAA), and its mission of retrieving and conserving the record of the country’s past.

By bringing together in a single volume knowledge and information scattered in obscure repositories or stored in the memories of individuals, the author renders yeoman service to our goal of eventually making a complete account of a critical period in the history of the Philippines.

This book manifest the readiness and the ability of NCAA to help the writers, artists and scholars to realize works relevant to art and culture that are likely to remain unrealized without official support and encouragement.
