>Tomas Internment Camp for more than three years. The Santo Tomas Internment

>the Battle of Manila. He will show a thirty-minute movie about the Battle of
>Manila, made by the US Army Signal Corps meant for release to movie theaters.
>It
>was believed that Gen, Douglas MacArthur did not allow it to be shown publicly
>because the war had already ended by the time the film was ready for showing,

>Archives until a researcher found it 5 or 6 years ago. Autographed copies of
>the
>book can be ordered by email <[email protected]>. The
>Book Talk is free and open to the public but RSVP is requested. Call (310)
