[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent review of the Battle of Bataan and the four years of resistance to the Japanese occupation in the Philippines. Due credit is given to the Filipinos for their bravery, loyalty and remarkable efforts to free themselves from the occupation and tyranny of the Japanese Empire. The epilogue was particularly moving.
