Only eight hours after the Pearl Harbor bombing, Japanese bombs leveled Manila and military targets on the main island of Luzon. After four long months for the under-prepared Allied forces in the Philippines, U.S. forces had no choice but to surrender.

And the story of their rescue...Ghost Soldiers...best book I've ever read. Hope I get this channel soon. Thanks for the heads up.
