À propos du livre
LARGE FORMAT LANDSCAPE EDITION
In February 1945, American forces vindicated the surrender on Corregidor.
History has a way of reviving events in a wholly different mood from that in which they took place.
In 1945, when America returned to Corregidor as the attacking force, the positions which existed in 1942 were reversed. The island was taken in less than two weeks. The depths of defeat were vindicated, at last, by an equally spectacular victory. In both extremes, citizens in uniform demonstrated their capacity to meet with triumph and disaster.
