Liberators: Medal of Honor Stories from the Battle of Luzon

In the heart of the Pacific, they came not just to fight—but to liberate.

The Battle of Luzon was one of the largest campaigns of the Pacific War—a massive combined effort to free the Philippines from Japanese occupation and strike a decisive blow against the Axis in the Pacific. Liberators tells the harrowing, heroic, and unforgettable stories of the men who went above and beyond the call of duty—earning the Medal of Honor in some of the war’s fiercest fighting.

This seventh volume in the Medal of Honor series chronicles the campaign through the lens of extraordinary courage: soldiers who charged machine-gun nests to protect their brothers, medics who treated the wounded under relentless fire, and officers who refused to abandon their men even in the deadliest city battles of the war.

Set against the backdrop of Luzon’s jungles, mountains, and the burning streets of Manila, Liberators captures the campaign in all its scope—from the initial beachhead landings at Lingayen Gulf to brutal close-quarters combat, and from guerrilla sabotage to the eventual collapse of Japanese resistance. Each chapter weaves personal heroism into the broader arc of a campaign that helped shift the tide of war in the Pacific.

Liberators is not only a tribute to bravery but a record of the heavy price paid to keep a promise—to return, to free a nation, and to defeat tyranny.
