| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Researched account of Lt. John Bulkeley, commander of the US Navy's Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 3, in the defense of the Philippines in 1941-1942. Details Bulkeley's life, arrival of the squadron in the Philippines, and operations during the defense of Bataan. Highlight of the book is the transfer of MacArthur from Corregidor to Mindanao by torpedo boat. Smith then goes on to describe the last missions of the torpedo boats, among them the "kidnapping" (in Bulkeley's words) of President Quezon, who was taken from Negros to Mindanao, to be evacuated by air to Australia. Ends with the loss of all boats, and the return of Bulkeley and some members of his squadron to the US. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
