| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - A dramatic reconstruction of the period from December 1941 to June 1942, covering the attack on Pearl Harbor, the defense of the Philippines, the fall of Wake Island and other Allied colonies, and ending in the American victories at Coral Sea and Midway. Told through personal anecdotes gathered by interviews (including Filipinos and Japanese) and written masterfully, this was one of the first instances of trying to narrate the war from different first-person perspectives. This account of those first six desperate months became a best seller, and was reprinted numerous times. The defense of the Philippines - including Clark Field, Bataan, Corregidor, the southern islands, the Death March - provide a wealth of heretofore unknown stories. Toland traveled to Bataan, retraced the battle lines and the death march, and flew the route taken by Japanese planes to attack Clark, among other things, to get a feel of the events he wrote about. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
