    About this ebook

    Red Ravage, first published in 1953, is an action-filled novel set on the island of Luzon, Philippines, shortly after the close of World War II. Ex-GI and paratrooper Jack Crenshaw decides to remain in the Philippines after his discharge from the Army, and goes to the aid of a wealthy planter who has been victimized by the activities of a Communist guerrilla group - the Hukbalahaps or simply “Huks.” A romance also develops between Crenshaw and the planter’s attractive daughter. In addition to the drama and action portrayed in the novel, the book provides insight into the real-life struggle against Communist guerrillas that occurred in the Philippines following the defeat of the Japanese, and which, to some extent, continues to the present day.
