Abandoned by their \u003cbr\u003egovernment, the men and women of the American garrison struggled against\u003cbr\u003e impossible military odds, rampant disease, and slow starvation to delay\u003cbr\u003e inevitable surrender by the largest American military force ever. \u003cbr\u003eRather than picturing these defenders as little more than helpless \u003cbr\u003evictims of an overwhelmingly powerful and sadistic enemy-as most \u003cbr\u003eprevious books about the Philippines campaign have done-\u003ci\u003eUndefeated \u003c\/i\u003ecredits American troops with the unexcelled heroism and indomitable spirit they displayed under the worst imaginable conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterwoven\u003cbr\u003e throughout this panoramic narrative are the harrowing personal \u003cbr\u003eexperiences of dozens of American soldiers, airmen, and Marines.
