Based on interviews with forty American and Filipino survivors who – battling hunger, dysentery, malaria, and the rapidly encroaching Japanese – were the untested but valiant defenders of General MacArthur and Wainwright's tiny island fortress, Corregidor. Corregidor vividly recaptures the struggles of the soldiers, doctors, nurses, and military personnel who, from December, 1941 to May, 1942 fought and died to buy America some desperately needed time to recoup and respond to the Japanese onslaught in the Pacific.
