Gives (somewhat as an afterthought) the role of US submarines in speeding up the US victory and freeing the POWs, although a few unmarked prison ships were inadvertently sunk by submarines.
The author, a retired US Navy officer, chanced upon two veterans of Bataan and was inspired to write this book, concluding that the US did abandon the defenders of the Philippines and that “God was on our side as was uncannily obvious at turning points in the war.†- Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
