This book tells the story of the courageous people of Malesso', an idyllic village in southern Guam. During the Japanese occupation, after scores of their people were killed, a group of men rose up in a little-known place called Atåte, where they fought and massacred the Japanese to protect their families and, in doing so, liberated themselves.
