Fighting for MacArthur: The Navy and Marine Corps' Desperate Defense of the Philippines by John Gordon
A brisk narrative history of the contributions of the USN and the USMC to the defense of the Philippines in 1941-42; if nothing else I learned much more about the destruction of Cavite Naval Yard and the exact role of the 4th Marines than I had known before. What is most interesting is that the author, while a former officer of the United States Army, comes down hard on Douglas MacArthur's conduct in this campaign and concludes that relief and retirement would have been the appropriate show more treatment for the man. show less
