It covers the entire war and Japanese occupation of the Philippines in four sections: Bataan: Into Darkness; Corregidor: Of Eternal Memory; Enemy Occupation: Guerrillas; and The Return: Total Victory. Using primary official and personal materials, which the Combat History Division compiled, the four volumes were written in popular style by members of the history division, - namely Lt. Col. Le Roy V. Greene and Capt. Justus C. Bateman - who were professional journalists before the war.
This work provides a quick capsule history of the war and guerrilla resistance movement as it was known at that time by the Americans. The editor added his own comments in a supplement, entitled “A Reassessment of the History of the Second World War in Bataan from the Viewpoint of a Filipino.â€
This volume is the third in Col. Ancheta’s series, “Historic Documents of World War II in the Philippines.†- Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
