The Forest

While writing a book on the Hukbalahap, a wartime anti-Japanese resistance movement in the Philippines, William “Bill” Pomeroy met and fell in love with Celia Mariano, one of its most active women members. The Forest tells the story of the two years—1950–1952—Bill and Celia spent in the mountains with the Huks.
