Reviews

"This powerful focus allows for an in-depth coverage of all events during the Philippines campaign." --James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review (August 2012) "...a great account dealing with the capitulation of the Philippine Islands in early 1942 ... As with every Osprey book, [The Fall of the Philippines] comes complete with exceptionally detailed maps and excellent illustrations and photographs -- a great book, especially for those just starting to learn about World War II." --WWII History Magazine (September 2012)
