Marie Vallejo’s book, Dauntless
Just had to share with you! DAUNTLESS is a finalist in the 42nd National Book Award! So many years of research since the information was scattered in several libraries and archives and many were top-secret. Thank you to all who supported me in the long, satisfying, and fruitful journey! – Marie Vallejo
The book is an exhaustive history of the 1st and 2nd Filipino Infantry Regiments that arrived with Gen. MacArthur in 1944 and took part in the Philippine liberation. Congratulations Marie on the award!
