| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Military history from the American point of view, written in gripping style. About half the book is on the defense of Bataan and Corregidor with little about the earlier ill-fated beach defenses. The remaining half deals with the POW experience: the death march, Camp O'Donnell, hell ships and final liberation. There is virtually nothing on the Filipino side of the campaign (except generally negative appraisals of the Philippine Army), and nothing new on the Japanese front. (While the author interviewed several veterans, they were all Americans). The Visayas and Mindanao are not given much mention either, so that the title does sum up what the book is about, giving short shrift to the Filipinos who were the majority on Bataan. The author, a popular American military historian, has written other books about World War II, but this is his first venture into the Asia-Pacific front. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
