Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - Scholarly study of the establishment and development of the Philippine Army, and the Philippine national defense plan, in the years of the Philippine Commonwealth, through the outbreak of World War II. Based on interviews, official reports and diaries, this reveals the politics, criticisms and challenges faced by President Manuel L. Quezon, Gen. Douglas MacArthur (national defense adviser and architect of the plan), and professional Filipino officers in the army. Despite the many serious problems, the army had to face experienced Japanese forces and managed to stand up to them in key positions in Bataan. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
