Torres of Malesso, provides a first-hand account of the uprising against the Japanese soldiers carried out by Torres and other residents of Malesso in retaliation of the massacres in Tinta and Faha. The memoir includes an introduction by Robert A. Underwood, president of the University of Guam, and a scholarly essay on the historical significance of the event written by Michael Bevacqua, Chamorro Studies program director.
