Constant jungle fighting
The Luzon campaign of 1945 was the longest island campaign of the Pacific War, lasting from January to September 1945, and only ended with the surrender of Imperial Japan. Often overlooked or mentioned in passing by most histories of that war, hundreds of thousands of Americans and Japanese fought in some of the worst conditions imaginable.
This full account includes the landings at Lingayen Gulf, the Battle for Manila and the recapture of Corregidor, as well as lesser-known battles. Individual acts of heroism are highlighted as are the interactions among the senior commanders involved, including General MacArthur, General Krueger (6th Army) and General Eichelberger (8th Army).
Review Quote
"[T]he author conveys the unalloyed terror of the endless campaign against a relentless enemy over which American initiative and individual guts nevertheless prevailed."—National Maritime Historical Society
