| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - A detailed, popular military history that covers more than what the title promises: it provides a historical background on the loss of the Philippines to the Japanese in 1942, describes the American return to the Philippines in 1944 and then gives a historical narrative of the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment. The 503rd fought in the South Pacific, staged in Mindoro and landed on Corregidor in a dramatic aerial assault in the smallest drop zones during the war.
Based on reports and interviews/correspondence with veterans who participated in the drop; the author was a paratroop officer who fought in Luzon. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
