The fall of Pearl Harbor era fortress in the Philippines
A historical survey recounts the 1941 to 1942 defense of Corregidor and Bataan led by Gen. Douglas MacArthur. It notes Japanese plans, Filipino and American cooperation, and the costly five month resistance, ending with the surrender on May 6. The piece cites Roosevelt’s orders and MacArthur’s postwar reflections.
