Anthropologist Thomas McKenna brings a dramatic story of Philippine guerrilla fighters to life in MORO WARRIOR.
MORO WARRIOR tells the remarkable true story of the Philippine Muslim (Moro) resistance fighters of World War II-the most successful and least-known guerrillas of the Pacific Theater. It is the story of Mohammad Adil, a sword-wielding warrior chieftain commissioned as a junior officer in Douglas MacArthur’s guerrilla army while still a teenager. Confident in his secret protective powers learned from a Sufi master, Adil roamed the highland rainforests with a price on his head, attacking Japanese outposts, surviving ambushes and gaining a reputation as a man who could not be killed.
