Greatest Drama of this War
The rescue of 486 American prisoners from a Japanese camp on Luzon by the Sixth Ranger Battalion and Corregidor is hailed as the war’s greatest drama. The piece recalls the retreat from Bataan and Corregidor and the joy of liberation as Rangers burst into the camp, with quotes from a former Corregidor provost marshal. It then shifts to a science feature by James Thrashers on Evarts Graham and manpower shortages, arguing about medical education under wartime strain and potential long-term impacts on postwar science and medicine.
