| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | An overview history of World War II in the Philippines, from December 8, 1941 to the end of the war, based mainly on the author’s interviews with surviving American (and one Filipino) veterans.<br/><br/>Not an oral history per se, since Astor writes the main text and quotes piecemeal from his interviews or personal memoirs. Covers the major battles – the start of the war, Bataan and Corregidor, surrender, Death March and prison camps; Leyte and the Kamikazes; the Lingayen Gulf invasion and drive to Manila, Battle of Manila; other Luzon fronts; and briefly on the Visayas and Mindanao - from different perspectives, from generals and admirals down to privates and seamen.<br/><br/>Astor, a World War II veteran and journalist, is not too familiar with the Philippines and there are a number of spelling and other errors in the book. The Filipinos are only a backdrop in this book, with the Americans gaining the spotlight. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose |
