Abandoned by theirgovernment, the men and women of the American garrison struggled againstimpossible military odds, rampant disease, and slow starvation to delayinevitable surrender by the largest American military force ever.Rather than picturing these defenders as little more than helplessvictims of an overwhelmingly powerful and sadistic enemy-as mostprevious books about the Philippines campaign have done-Undefeated credits American troops with the unexcelled heroism and indomitable spirit they displayed under the worst imaginable conditions.Interwoventhroughout this panoramic narrative are the harrowing personalexperiences of dozens of American soldiers, airmen, and Marines. Sloanalso provides intimate, in-depth profiles of General Douglas MacArthur,who evacuated to Australia as the situation on Bataan worsened, and ofGeneral Jonathan Wainwright, who succeeded him as top U.S. commander inthe Philippines and himself became a prisoner of the Japanese.Contact: [email protected]
