FOREWORD

I

mmediately prior to the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Manila in 1945, the late Dr. John Pimlott, Dr. Duncan Anderson (both of Sandhurst's Department of War Studies) and I received a commission to write the history of that liberation. Individuals in the Philippines who had been closely associated with that episode and who previously had not wished to recount their own personal stories, began to indicate their preparedness to give their very often grim accounts of what happened in February 1945. There was an element of immediacy which left the would-be authors with a matter of fourteen weeks to write The Battle for Manila. It was therefore not a deep and heavy academic work but a straightforward story of a tragic event in the lives of so many Manilefios.

While in Manila conducting interviews, my mind turned to perhaps the obvious question as to the origins of the tragedy of Manila's liberation by General MacArthur. Although the process had been begun by the Japanese, it was a case of a city that was destroyed in order to be saved. This new book is the prequel to The Battle for Manila and begins in 1880, the year of MacArthur's birth, and runs through to 1942, to the fall of the Philippines in the first of the two campaigns of the Second World War. It is a weightier book than The Battle for Manila because there was sufficient time available to study the political and military machinations which led to America's stunning defeat xv

by the Japanese. I began the prequel with a totally open mind. The conclusions that I have drawn are based on the analysis of the available material. So essential was the requirement for veracity that a number of experts in this field were co-opted to read and comment upon the drafts. To that end, I am extremely grateful for the generous assistance and advice provided by: Dr. Bernard D. Cole, Chairman, Department of National Security Policy and Professor of Maritime History and Strategy at the National Defense University, Washington; Colonel Adolf Carlson of the War College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania; James W. Zobel, Archivist at the MacArthur Memorial, Norfolk, Virginia; Professor Ricardo Trota Jose of the University of the Philippines; and Dr. Duncan Anderson of the Department of War Studies, Sandhurst. However, the responsibility for all errors and omissions are entirely mine.

In addition, I would like to thank: John J. Slonaker, Chief, Historical Reference Branch and David Keough of the ManUSCript Branch, both at the U.S. Army Military History Institute; Kathy Lloyd of the U. S. Naval Historical Center; Ben Frank, formerly of the U. S. Marine Corps Historical Center; and Clive Richards, MoD Air Historical Branch. Thanks to Rosemary Best for reading the manuscript and to Gina, without whose work production skills and enthusiasm this 'book would never have come to fruition. Finally, I wish to record my gratitude to the Ayala Corporation, Roderick Hall, Consuelo McHugh, Memorare Manila and Ambassador John Rocha for their generous assistance in offsetting the research costs of MacArthur and Defeat in the Philippines.
