By early 1945, the war against Japan was at its height and General
Douglas MacArthur began to fulfil his vow of liberating the
Philippines. He was already planning his own victory parade down
Dewey Boulevard in Manila, a city he loved dearly. But the Japanese
had other ideas. While their command had agreed to abandon Manila
after the fall of Leyte, a rogue Japanese admiral instructed his
troops to fight to the death. The result was the catastrophic
destruction of the city, and a rampage that terrorised the civilian
population. An estimated 100,000 civilians lost their lives in a
massacre as heinous as the "Rape of Nanking". Based on extensive
research, war-crimes testimony, after-action reports and survivor
interviews, Rampage recounts one of the most heart-breaking
chapters of Pacific war history.
