Book Description
"In the aftermath of Japan's devastating attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, thousands of American troops serving in the Philippines were invaded by Japanese air, sea, and land forces, necessitating a hurried retreat by Christmas Day to the nearby Bataan Peninsula and the island of Corregidor in Manila Bay. U.S. Army Air Corps Sergeant James T. Murphy and his fellow defenders of Bataan and Corregidor held off the enemy in a stand against overwhelming odds while awaiting the promise of American reinforcements that would never come."--Jacket.
