Before the Japanese invaded the Philippines in World War II, MacArthur ordered Americans living on the islands to evacuate. Several families of Baptist missionaries chose to remain, to support the Filipinos, continue their ministry, and help the war effort. "The Edge of Terror "tells their story. While many of their children were taken to Japanese internment camps, the adults retreated into the jungle, where they engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with the Japanese forces. Some worked with the Filipino guerrillas while others made contact with the Americans. They helped to establish resistance and gather intelligence for the American military while also preparing for a breath-taking submarine escape that not all would live to see. Drawing from diaries, interviews, and military archives, "The Edge of Terror "describes life during the occupation and the danger these well-meaning missionaries faced in their effort to serve both God and country.
