For the first time the story of the Navy and Marine Corps in the
1941-42 Philippine campaign is told in a single volume. Drawing on
a rich collection of both U.S. and recently discovered Japanese
sources as well as official records and wartime diaries, Gordon
chronicles the Americans' desperate defense of the besieged
islands. Gordon offers updated information about the campaign
during which the Navy and Marines, fighting in what was largely an
Army operation, performed some of their most unusual missions of
the entire Pacific War. He also explains why the Navy's
relationship with Gen. Douglas MacArthur became strained during
this campaign, and remained so for the rest of the war.As a result
of Gordon's extensive primary source research, Fighting for
MacArthur presents the most complete account of the dramatic
efforts by elements of the Navy and Marine Corps to support the
U.S. Army's ill-fated defense of the Philippines.
