The Battling Bastards of Bataan

A Merriam Press Original Publication
Military Monograph MM36

We are the battling bastards of Bataan,
No mama, no papa, no Uncle Sam;
No aunts, no uncles, no cousins, no nieces;
No pills, no planes, no artillery pieces;
And nobody gives a damn.

—Frank Hewlett,

Extremely detailed day-by-day chronological history of the entire campaign in the Philippines during the first six months after America’s entry into the war. Much on units, personalities, combat, and more.

No better way for you to follow the conduct of the entire campaign in context, and to more easily relate this slice of World War II with other aspects of the war at the same time.
