Mohammad Adil is not much more than a boy at the beginning of McKenna's book, and what gives the story authenticity is the acknowledgement of the mistakes that were made. In later years as he learned to trust McKenna, Adil confessed to comic blunders and tragic missteps, disappointments and regrets. Well, normal people aren't born with the strategic skills, expertise and cunning to combat an occupier, and resistance fighters have to learn these skills, and they make mistakes while they're learning. Adil has some lucky escapes from a formidable and callous enemy.
Not only from his enemies! Hoping to join the guerillas, he makes his way to their camp with his foster father Kuder...
But in time, 19-year-old Mohammad Adil became one of the youngest officers in General Douglas MacArthur’s guerrilla army, commissioned as a third lieutenant in the 119th regiment, bringing hope to other Moro with gifts such as Marlboro cigarettes that proved the Americans were on their way to help. In the photos, he looks like a schoolboy.
