About This Item
Novato, CA: Presidio Press, 1988. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xv, [1], 331, [1] pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Biographical Data. Bibliography. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Corners of several pages creased. The author retired from the United States Army with the rank of Lt. General. After a distinguished military career, and a subsequent legal career, he became a noted historian. Derived from Publishers' Weekly: The battle for Corregidor was complicated by the American's underestimation of enemy strength: expecting a few hundred demoralized defenders, they encountered more than 6,000 Japanese soldiers and marines deployed in tunnels and caves, every man dedicated to the Bushido code that dictated a fight to the death. As the dust was settling, MacArthur himself came ashore and was greeted by the commander of the victorious U.S. Army troops. 'Sir, ' said Col. George Jones, 'I present to you the Fortress Corregidor' -- a stirring conclusion to a dramatic and well-told story.
