Anotácia knihy

Six Americans refused surrender when Japan captured Guam. Five were executed. One sailor survived 31 months evading the Japanese.

December 10, 1941. George Tweed became the longest-surviving American fugitive of World War II hiding in northern Guam's limestone cliffs. His survival depended on Chamorro families who shared their food, built underground networks, and endured Japanese torture to protect him.

When the Japanese suspected helpers, they responded with public beheadings and threats to annihilate entire bloodlines. Dozens were interrogated. Many were executed. None betrayed Tweed's location.

Guam Eagle tells three stories the history books kept separate: Tweed's extraordinary endurance, the Chamorro resistance that made it possible, and what happened after liberation when one Chevrolet became both gratitude and controversy.

Drawing from declassified documents and personal testimonies, this is the untold Pacific War story of loyalty, resistance, and complicated liberation.

Perfect for readers of Bill O'Reilly's Killing series and James Bradley's Flyboys.
