Description:

Fought with obsolete and discarded equipment by an army made up of mostly untrained Filipinos, the Battle of Bataan has truly become the "forgotten battle" of World War II despite the fact that it represents the single largest surrender in American and Filipino military history. This book provides a complete history of the battle by also looking at the events which led up to the fall of Bataan. It begins with an overview of the Philippine, American, and Japanese forces which fought on Bataan, followed by chapters looking at the military buildup, the counterattack in the II Corps and the withdrawal from Abucay, the Japanese invasion, the Battle for the Points, the Battle of the Pockets, and, finally, the surrender and death march. The book contains dozens of period and modern photographs and several maps.
