Book Synopsis The Bataan Death March 1942 by : Bob East
Download or read book The Bataan Death March 1942 written by Bob East and published by Ethics International Press. This book was released on 2024-08-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is predominately about the Bataan Death March that followed the capitulation and surrender of the Philippine and United States armed forces on 09 April 1942 in Luzon, Philippines. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in late December 1941, and the subsequent bombing of Clark Air Base, Japanese forces landed in Northern Luzon, and worked their way down to the capital, Manilla. Early in 1942, General Douglas MacArthur ordered all the Allied forces in Luzon to proceed south to the Bataan Peninsula. Both he and General Wainwright and 10,000 allied troops went further south to Corregidor Island. (This left General King in charge of all the allied troops in the Bataan Peninsula). Throughout January, February, and March 1942, the Philippine and U.S. troops underwent extreme hardship and, although asking General MacArthur for permission to surrender, which was refused, General King, on 09 April 1942 surrendered to the Japanese. This then triggered the beginning of the Bataan Death March—a 70 kilometre forced march to San Fernando, a train trip of 2-3 hours, and finally another 13 kilometre walk to the O’Donnell P.O.W. Camp in Capas. What followed was the death of thousands of prisoners of war both on the Bataan Death March and in the years following, until the Japanese surrendered in September 1945. The book will provide a valuable resource for students and researchers of modern history; particularly the Second World War, and the War in the Pacific,1941-1945.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergeant Steele watched with growing unease from the ramparts of the Citadel in Lang Son at the number of Japanese troops patrolling the narrow streets. Heavy artillery pieces pointed in the direction of the small French Foreign Legion unit. Under command of the French Vichy government an uneasy truce between the French in Indochina and Japanese forces was about to erupt into all out war. The Japanese coup d'état in French Indochina, known as Meigo Sakusen (Operation Bright Moon), took place on 9 March 1945 towards the end of World War II. Japan was losing the war, an Allied invasion and an uprising of French troops in Indochina was inevitable. Simultaneously the Japanese attacked the French garrisons across the country.Steele had attempted to persuade all the senior officers not to attend a dinner in their honour held by the Japanese. Tortured and executed the senior officers walked straight into a deadly trap.Now the troops, led by battle hardened veterans like Steele resist massively overwhelming odds. After witnessing hundreds of prisoners massacred along the banks of the river the Legionnaires must fight their way through the Japanese lines in the hope of linking up with surviving Legion units and French Regulars. They must move towards Son La and Dien Bien Phu where they will fight costly rearguard actions.Separated from the main column Steele must lead his small unit through enemy held areas, across raging rivers and over towering mountains all the while pursued by the relentless Japanese. Hunger, disease and the dense jungle lay ahead. Their objective, hold off the advancing Japanese long enough for the Regulars and civilians to cross over into China a thousand miles away. Based on actual historical fact and first hand accounts by survivors, this novel describes the brutal Japanese Coup and the extraordinary feats of courage by the Legionnaires fighting every step of the long journey to safety. Sergeant Steele must not only contend with the Japanese but also his nemesis, Jean. Their eternal feud carries on with Jean leading a Japanese unit set on annihilating Steele and his men. Steele looks at the men under his command. "How many of them will make it to China?" Setting off into the night the sounds of gunfire erupt further up ahead. It is going to be one hell of a march!

Book Synopsis Tears in the Darkness by : Michael Norman
Download or read book Tears in the Darkness written by Michael Norman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tears in the Darkness is an altogether new look at World War II that exposes the myths of war and shows the extent of suffering and loss on both sides. For the first four months of 1942, U.S., Filipino, and Japanese soldiers fought what was America's first major land battle of World War II, the battle for the tiny Philippine peninsula of Bataan. It ended with the surrender of 76,000 Filipinos and Americans, the single largest defeat in American military history. The defeat, though, was only the beginning, as Michael and Elizabeth M. Norman make dramatically clear in this powerfully original book. From then until the Japanese surrendered in August 1945, the prisoners of war suffered an ordeal of unparalleled cruelty and savagery: forty-one months of captivity, starvation rations, dehydration, hard labor, deadly disease, and torture—far from the machinations of General Douglas MacArthur. The Normans bring to the story remarkable feats of reportage and literary empathy. Their protagonist, Ben Steele, is a figure out of Hemingway: a young cowboy turned sketch artist from Montana who joined the army to see the world. Juxtaposed against Steele's story and the sobering tale of the Death March and its aftermath is the story of a number of Japanese soldiers.
