Although the US policy was Europe first, and most of the military forces were earmarked to fight Hitler, there were desperate attempts to get food, ammunition and weapons to Bataan and Corregidor – or at least the Visayas and Mindanao – as well as evacuate key personnel from the Philippines. This book narrates those brave attempts by Filipinos and Americans – many attempts were tragically unsuccessful, with ships being sunk by Japanese aircraft. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
