Rampage
MacArthur, Yamashita, and the Battle of Manila
James M. Scott
Discover the devastating story of the battle to reclaim Manila in 1945. General Douglas MacArthur planned a triumphant victory parade, but the Japanese had other plans. Rampage follows the catastrophic destruction and brutalization of the city's civilian population, resulting in a massacre as harrowing as the Rape of Nanking. This heartbreaking account draws from war-crimes testimony, after-action reports, and survivor interviews to document one of the most tragic chapters in Pacific War history.
