The common theme among these books is the Philippines during World War II, with a focus on various battles and events that occurred in the country. Several books cover the Bataan Death March and the conditions faced by American and Filipino soldiers during this time. There are also accounts of naval campaigns and rescue missions carried out by both Japanese and American forces. Other books explore broader historical topics such as America's colonization of the Philippines and the political dynasty of the Marcos family. Finally, there are personal memoirs that offer insights into the experiences of Filipino immigrants in America and Japanese soldiers who refused to surrender after World War II ended.
