Jose M. Torres
The Massacre at At氓te tells the story of the courageous people of the idyllic southern village of Malesso鈥�, who liberated themselves from the violent occupation of their village by Japanese forces during World War II. After scores of their relatives were killed in two massacres, a group of CHamoru men rose up in a little-known place called At氓te, where they fought and massacred the Japanese to protect their families. The book includes an introduction by Robert A. Underwood and an afterword by Michael Lujan Bevacqua.
Born and raised in Malesso鈥�, Jose M. Torres graduated from St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York. He later joined the National Institutes of Health research team that was studying the island鈥檚 high incidences of two neurological diseases -- Parkinsonism-dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig鈥檚 disease.
