They were written off as doomed before the first shot was fired. Yet for 93 days, 75,000 starving, diseased men held the line against the Imperial Japanese Army in the jungles of Bataan.

When the Japanese invaded the Philippines in December 1941, the American-Filipino defenders fell back to the Bataan peninsula under War Plan Orange-3, a strategy that deliberately left them isolated and without hope of reinforcement. This book tells their story -- the fighting withdrawal, the desperate defense of the Abucay and Orion-Bagac lines, the slow starvation and rampant disease that reduced men to shadows, and the final surrender that led to the infamous Bataan Death March. Told with factual accuracy and deep respect, this is military history for the general reader, bringing clarity to a campaign often overshadowed by later events.
