Publisher's summary

BASED ON TRUE EVENTS

One of the bloodiest “little wars” in American history, that saw the deaths of 4,200 U.S. soldiers, serves as the background for this story of high adventure and brutal combat.


The year is 1898 and the setting is the island of Sulu in the Philippines. The Spanish-American War has just ended and with its victory over Spain, the United States has gained possession of the islands. However, American troops are now fighting a series of savage and brutal guerrilla skirmishes with rebellious local tribes who wish independence. The most feared and fearless of these are the violent Moros, headed by a chieftain of unusual intelligence and cunning named Jokiri.

Three years later with no victory in site, the U.S. has sent out patrols into the jungle to locate Jokiri, but he has laid a treacherous ambush for one group of these foreigners. Surrounding a group of Army officers who fall into his trap, he slays and beheads all of the soldiers except Captain Shay Sullivan, whom he takes to his camp. There Sullivan faces unimaginable torture and death unless he turns traitor to his country and teaches the Moros American war tactics.

THE WALLS OF JOLO is the story of what happens to Shay as he matches wits and does battle with Jokiri. His only weapons being courage, and the fearless love of the Spanish beauty who tries to help him, Medina, Jokiri’s beautiful adopted daughter.
