In the opening days of the World War II, a joint U.S.-Filipino army
fought desperately to defend Manila Bay and the Philippines against
a Japanese invasion. Much of the five-month campaign was waged on
the Bataan Peninsula and Corregidor Island. Despite dwindling
supplies and dim prospects for support, the garrison held out as
long as possible and significantly delayed the Japanese timetable
for conquest in the Pacific. In the end, the Japanese forced the
largest capitulation in U.S. military history. The defenders were
hailed as heroes and the legacy of their determined resistance
marks the Philippines today. Drawing on accounts from American and
Filipino participants and archival sources, this book tells the
story of these critical months of the Pacific War, from the first
air strikes to the fall of Bataan and Corregidor.
