Jesuits Under Fire: In the Siege of Hong Kong, 1941 (published in 1944) is a firsthand historical account by Irish Jesuit priest Thomas F. Ryan. It chronicles the intense December 1941 Battle of Hong Kong and the subsequent Japanese occupation from the perspective of the Jesuits caught in the crossfire.

Compiled as a "composite narrative" directly from diaries, letters, and eyewitness reports, the book details how the Jesuits stationed in Hong Kong—many associated with Wah Yan College—operated during the December 1941 siege. Google Books.
