General Douglas MacArthur's bloody campaign to defeat die-hard Japanese forces and liberate the Philippines “I shall return,” General Douglas MacArthur promised the Filipino people following the Japanese invasion and occupation of the Philippines in spring 1942. The people there believed MacArthur’s vow—and even Americans were stirred by his dramatic pledge. Now, two and half years later, MacArthur was ready to fulfill his promise--the liberation of the Philippines was about to begin. It would not be an easy campaign. The more than 7,000 islands of the Philippine archipelago were the key to taking down the Japanese Empire—and the Imperial forces were prepared to sacrifice every man and every ship to prevent MacArthur from regaining control of them. Covering both the strategic and tactical aspects of the campaign through the participation of its soldiers, sailors, and airmen, as well as its commanders, James P. Duffy leads readers through a vivid account of the nearly year-long, bloody campaign to defeat over a quarter million die-hard Japanese defenders in the Pacific theater. Return to Victory is a wide-ranging, dramatic and stirring account of MacArthur’s epic liberation of the Philippines.

General Douglas A MacArthur, Commander of the Southwest Pacific Area, saw the liberation of the Philippines Archipelago as the launching board for the invasion of the Japanese Home Islands. By late 1944, with the capture of New Guinea and surrounding islands, the US Sixth and Eighth Armies were poised for the challenge. American forces landed on Leyte on 20 October 1944 with the Leyte Gulf naval battle quickly following. By 25 December the island was cleared opening the way for Lieutenant General Walter Krueger’s Sixth Army to invade Luzon on 9 January 1945. Bitter Japanese resistance required Eichelberger’s Eighth Army as reinforcements. Manila finally fell on 4 March. In the meantime Bataan was captured on 16 February and Corregidor on 2 March after a US airborne assault. Fighting continued and MacArthur finally declared the liberation of the Archipelago on 5 July, just a month before the Atom bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This superbly illustrated work in the Pacific War Images of War series leaves the reader in no doubt as to the intensity of the land, sea and air operations required by the Allies to defeat the Japanese.

After the Battle of Leyte Gulf, which crushed Japanese naval power in the Pacific even more effectively than American naval chiefs were aware at the time, we moved against Japan to liberate the Philippines. A series of amphibious operations took place on the islands and shores of Mindoro, Lingayen Bay, Palawan, Panay, Negros, Cebu, Corregidor, and Mindanao. The carrier actions supporting these operations are told in detail. In this period of the war (the winter of 1944-1945) the Japanese Kamikaze Corps arose as an effective threat, taking a terrific toll of ships and sailors' lives. Book jacket.

An English professor in a small Texas town, William A. Owens in 1944 did what many younger men had done before him: he enlisted to serve his country in its second World War. Assigned to serve with the Counter Intelligence Corps in the Philippines, Owens soon found himself at the very heart of the action, not only experiencing the daily life of a soldier but, because of his duties as an intelligence agent, playing a part in the "big picture" of the war as well. Owens was in all the major military maneuvers: in the third wave of soldiers landing at Leyte Gulf, in the invasion of Luzon, in the siege and taking of Manila, in the countryside with the communist Huks and guerrillas after the Philippines were "secured." As a CIC agent, Owens interrogated Japanese and read captured documents, thwarted infiltration and sabotage, and, as he dealt with the conflicting factions left in the vacuum created by the war, came to know the major Filipino political leaders on both the left and the right. Acclaimed for his autobiographical works, This Stubborn Soil and A Season of Weathering, and his novels, Walking on Borrowed Land, Fever in the Earth, and Look to the River, Owens brings his formidable literary skills to this fascinating memoir of his wartime experiences. The unforgettable people Owens met and events he experienced come vividly to life: the Filipino leper to whom Owens could not grant shelter for fear of contamination; the suspected spy whom he befriended and later delivered home to die; his weary fellow soldiers' joyous response to the discovery of an open brewery; those same soldiers' subdued talk of life and death in the anxious moments before a beach invasion. The role of the Counter Intelligence Corps in the War in the Pacific has rarely received the attention it deserves; here we have an enlightening firsthand look at that role by one of whose Citation for Legion of Merits honors his "exceptionally meritorious conduct" and "distinct contribution to the continued effectiveness of Counter Intelligence activities" in the Philippines. So honored by his country, William A. Owen is sure to win further honors of another kind for Eye-Deep in Hell--an unforgettable journey through the invasions, the interrogations, and the ruins and atrocities of the War in the Pacific.--Jacket flap.

During the early months of World War II, Winston Churchill maneuvered to get the U.S. involved in the war to save his country from German invasion. Roosevelt, scheming to lure Hitler into a casus belli, ensnared Japan instead, resulting in the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Pacific War that followed. When the doomed U.S. garrison in the Philippines soon capitulated to the Japanese, the atrocities inflicted on the Filipino and American units that surrendered were portents for the inhabitants of Manila. The history chronicles the 1945 recapture of Manila largely from the perspective of the civilian population, which suffered horrific brutality from the Japanese, followed by destruction and heavy loss of life during the American assault. Individual stories are included of citizens caught in the crossfire between the tenacious Japanese defenders and American troops determined to seize the capital city while minimizing their own casualties, regardless of the cost in civilian lives. More than 175 photographs document the events described.

Driven from the Philippines in 1942, General Douglas MacArthur returned three years later to force the Japanese off of its main island of Luzon. Containing the capital of Manila, vital natural resources as well as thousands of Allied prisoners of war, the triumph at Luzon would be a vital step on the road to victory as the Americans continued to island-hop their way towards the Japanese home islands. This new study details one of the hardest-fought campaigns of the Pacific War with Japanese fatalities alone on Luzon topping 200,000. Emphasizing the differences in Japanese and American strategy, and detailing the combat operations of the campaign, this volume tells the story of how MacArthur kept his promise to return and liberate the Philippines.
