Morris's work is unusual. It has freshness and intimacy that other books on the subject lack...Eminently readable. Library Journal Corregidor vividly conveys the circumstances of men fighting hunger, dystentery, and malaria, as well as the rapidly encroaching Japanese; the effects of massive and sustained bombardment upon civilians and troops penned within the confines of the island and tunnels of Corregidor; and the wide variations of behavior among units and individuals as it became apparent that, for all the rhetoric issuing from Washington, no relieving force was going to arrive.
