Mutiny in Pacific War Revealed in Army Files
Dr. Louis Norton says top secret Army records show officers mutinied during the Bataan and Corregidor battles. General King ignored Wainwright’s surrender order as Japanese forces pressed, while Sharp’s units scattered then surrendered under new orders.

Morton spoke at the University of Washington revealing the account for the first time.
