註釋In December, 1941, immediately after bombing Pearl Harbor, the Japanese attacked General Douglas MacArthur's United States Army Forces in the Far East. This is the story of the first battle fought in that war, the Battle of Bataan, and of the American soldiers left behind when the U.S. Army commander ultimately surrendered to the Japanese. The fall of Bataan and subsequent events in the Japanese-occupied Philippine Islands are told through the eyes of an American soldier, Frank Loyd, who escaped the Bataan Death March and survived in the jungles for three and a half years in spite of a Japanese man-hunt to capture or kill him. When General MacArthur's forces returned to the Philippines near the end of the war he rejoined the American forces and ultimately returned to his family in the States, alive.
