    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The doctor, Ralph Emerson Hibbs, was the surgeon of the 2nd Battalion of the 31st Infantry Regiment, and he was responsible for the health of some 700 soldiers in the field. He had no quinine to treat his malaria, and he was delirious.

    #2 The news that General King would surrender his troops in the morning was met with relief by some, but sadness by others. The men were gaunt, shell-shocked, and addled with nerve fatigue. They were so exhausted that their hair was tired.

    #3 The men of the 31st Infantry, which had seen a disproportionate share of sickness and death, were also the most starving of all the American units on Bataan. They had been forced to retreat from the blood-soaked battlefield, with their brains pushing out of their heads and their faces becoming colorless.

    #4 When the fighting was not going on, a lieutenant named Henry Lee would write poetry lines from his foxhole. He was from Pasadena, California, and had been educated at Pomona College.

      #1

      The doctor, Ralph Emerson Hibbs, was the surgeon of the 2nd Battalion of the 31st Infantry Regiment, and he was responsible for the health of some 700 soldiers in the field. He had no quinine to treat his malaria, and he was delirious.

      #2

      The news that General King would surrender his troops in the morning was met with relief by some, but sadness by others. The men were gaunt, shell-shocked, and addled with nerve fatigue. They were so exhausted that their hair was tired.

      #3

      The men of the 31st Infantry, which had seen a disproportionate share of sickness and death, were also the most starving of all the American units on Bataan. They had been forced to retreat from the blood-soaked battlefield, with their brains pushing out of their heads and their faces becoming colorless.

      #4

      When the fighting was not going on, a lieutenant named Henry Lee would write poetry lines from his foxhole. He was from Pasadena, California, and had been educated at Pomona College.

      #5

      The fall of Bataan was not an emphatic decision of arms, but an epic drawdown marked by increments of physical, spiritual, and material depletion. Life in the Orient was easygoing with a emphasis on the mañana and siesta ethic.

      #6

      Hibbs, despite his optimism, was beginning to realize how misplaced it was. He tried to put the best face on the situation, but he was beginning to realize how much he had misjudged the situation.

      #7

      On April 8, 1942, the American Army Forces of the Far East deliberately blew up the last of their big ammunition dumps to keep them from falling into Japanese hands. The night was lit up with apocalyptic explosions.

      #8

      On the morning of April 9, General King met with representatives of General Masaharu Homma to discuss the surrender of American and Filipino forces on Bataan. King understood that if he did not surrender to the Japanese, Bataan would be known as the greatest slaughter in history.

      #9
