This is the incredible account of the first successful American Island airborne attack in World War II. The island of Corregidor, situated at the mouth of Manila Bay, was the U.S. troops' last stand and came to represent their humiliating defeat in the Philippines - a defeat so resounding that it inspired General Douglas MacArthur's courageous promise: I shall return. This book is the account of the United States' triumphant return to the island fortress (with an unorthodox and risky plan that no one thought would work, and the soldiers who carried out the impossible). Publisher's Weekly called the book an impressive achievement in research and narrative skill. Exciting, historical.
