Battle for Bataan: An Eyewitness Account (1980) By Col. Richard C. Mallonee
 
In the wake of the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the Philippines became a remote American outpost that was virtually isolated. With no support possible, the beleaguered American and Filipino forces fought a desperate delaying action at Bataan and Corregidor. Battle for Bataan goes beyond the story of those hopeless days of men fighting and dying for a lost cause. Mallonée incisively describes the subsequent horror of the Bataan Death March, when brutal Japanese Army soldiers callously and arbitrarily killed American and Filipino POWs as they marched to captivity. And it relates Mallonée's own epic struggle to survive. The result is a wrenching tale of courage, endurance, and final victory.
