| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "Soon after the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines, Maj. Thomas Dooley began the first of six handwritten journals--more than 500 written pages--that he continued to update throughout the war. As aide de camp to Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright, commander of the Allied forces after Gen. Douglas MacArthur was ordered to Australia, Dooley had regular contact with commanders and headquarters throughout the Philippines. His journals reveals very personal story of the battles of Bataan and Corregidor and the capture, imprisonment and struggle for survival of tens of thousands of American prisoners of war. Dooley's journals--dutifully maintained even while he was a prisoner--are at once witty, articulate, stark, and often reflective. To Bataan and Back adds a new voice to the chorus of World War II history."
