“Detailing an heroic effort reminiscent of Oskar Schindler, The Manila Poker Club reveals the extraordinary story of a handful of Filipino and American leaders who devised a daring plan to rescue thousands of Jews as the horrors of war swept across Europe. Through a kaleidoscope of voices, journalist Mark Sy illuminates this inspiring chapter of courage, ingenuity, and moral conviction with urgency and grace.” 
—James M. Scott, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Black Snow, Rampage, and Target Tokyo

"Impressive research uncovers details of an effort to rescue wartime refugees. . . . Sy delivers a compelling account."
