The book starts by talking about Japan's attacks in early December, 1941, on a variety of places and its attack on the Philippines. The book says that the US forces defending the Philippines consisted mostly of poorly equipped and relatively untrained Filipinos, mixed with a very small number of U.S. military personnel.
It describes the Japanese advance, and includes a number of photos taken from the Japanese side that I have not seen elsewhere.
The fall of Bataan and the Bataan death march are then covered, then it covers the fall of Corregidor.
