Drawing on a rich collection of both U.S. and recently discovered Japanese sources as well as official records and wartime diaries, Gordon chronicles the Americans' desperate defense of the besieged islands. Gordon offers updated information about the campaign during which the Navy and Marines, fighting in what was largely an Army operation, performed some of their most unusual missions of the entire Pacific War. He also explains why the Navy's relationship with Gen. Douglas MacArthur became strained during this campaign, and remained so for the rest of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a result of Gordon's extensive primary source research, \u003ci\u003eFighting for MacArthur\u003c\/i\u003e presents the most complete account of the dramatic efforts by elements of the Navy and Marine Corps to support the U.S. Army's ill-fated defense of the Philippines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Gordon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1682471861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682471869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e US Naval Institute Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Gordon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937224556799,"sku":"9781682471869","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_84571a0d-061f-4f0a-8889-974d0a9c1a25.jpg?v=1681428832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fighting-for-macarthur-john-gordon-9781682471869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
