Another question... I know its not the main focus of the book but is the author giving MacArthur a pass in this book? It seems like I read that he didn't implement the standing plan to retreat into Bataan properly, using the prepositioned supplies etc.. and there's the whole thing about getting caught with his planes down after Pearl Harbor... There are reasons why the prisoners were hung out to dry, you'd think it'd be a big part of the story.
