The book covers Corregidor before the war; the siege of Corregidor in 1941-1942, and the subsequent liberation of the island fortress in 1945. Authoritative but readable, the Belote brothers weave the story of The Rock through the eyes of its defenders and its liberators, bringing out the human side of the battles.
The Belote brothers (twins) are professional historians, specializing in military history. A comprehensive work which still is the best single volume on the subject. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
