MacArthur's Emissary: Chick Parsons and the Secret War in the Philippines in World War II

MacArthur’s Emissary, first published in 1945 as Rendezvous by Submarine, is the moving story of U.S. Navy Commander Charles “Chick” Parsons, who was instrumental in organizing a fleet of submarines to supply the resistance in the Philippines. He forged this critical link between General Douglas MacArthur in Australia and guerrillas of the Philippines, especially on Mindanao. Tons of supplies, radio equipment and critically needed medical aid were delivered to the Philippines, while on return trips, civilians and wounded personnel were taken to safety. The efforts of Chick Parsons were of immeasurable importance to the Allied war effort in the Philippines.
