Conduct Under Fire
Manage episode 454983021 series 2865702
The Japanese attacked the Philippines almost simultaneous with their December 7th, 1941 attack on the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor. Following Japanese air attacks, the Japanese 14th Army landed in the Philippines on December 8th. By January 1942, the Japanese had U.S. and Filipino forces bottled up on the Bataan Peninsula. Those U.S. and Filipino forces surrendered on May 8th. It is arguably America’s worst military defeat ever. Among the roughly 12,000 Americans taken prisoner were four Navy doctors. John Glusman tells their story in “Conduct Under Fire: Four American Doctors and Their Fight for Life as Prisoners of the Japanese, 1941-1945.”
