The author was a platoon leader of the 34th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division, and fought in the battle. Beyond telling his own story, he has written a comprehensive account from all sides. The battle, ferociously fought in mountains, ravines and caves, was a necessary preliminary to ensure the recapture of Bataan and Corregidor from the Japanese, as well as to secure the town of Olongapo and the naval base at Subic. Filipino guerrillas also fought in this bloody battle, and Mann mentions some of their achievements. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
