Death March by Donald Knox (1983)
This book tells about first hand experiences of the men who were "hung out to dry" in the Philippine Islands during the early days of World War II. America, after being mislead by Douglas MacArthur into believing he had done wonders with the Philippine Armed forces, sent several units of Army and Army Air Corps to assist the Philippine Army in defending their islands. The American and Philippine troops fought with unbelievable courage and sacrifice, but lacked the supplies and equipment they needed. When they were sent to Bataan by MacArthur, much needed supplies were left on Luzon and other places for the Japanese. The "Europe First" policy of our government meant that all war supplies were sent to the European Theatre of Operations instead of the Pacific. After four months of brutal fighting, out of food and medicine, they were ordered to surrender on 9 April, 1942. What happened next was a nightmare of unbelievable brutality. Men were savagely mistreated, beaten, starved, deprived of all mercy and murdered by an enemy who had nothing but distain for those who would surrender. These men were forced on a march of death, unlike any that American Military men have ever experienced. Those who couldn't keep up or were sick, were killed. These men endured three and one half years of unspeakable horror. Many were sent to Japan or Manchuria on unmarked "hell ships" with little food and water, open to attack by American Submarines, with great loss of life, to be slave labor in Japanese factories and mines. Less than one percent of those who were prisoners of the Germans died, while some 20 - 30+ percent of those held by the Japanese perished. The "Battling Bastards of Bataan" must forever be placed at the forefront of the heros who have stepped up to insure that we live in the freedom we now enjoy. The stories of these men will move you and you will wonder "where do we get men such as these?". This is a "Must Read" and you will be in awe of these men as am I. My cousin, SSG Ed Rapp, lies buried in Manila.
