THEY WERE EXPENDABLE by W L WHITE - 1st Edition 1942
Here is the first great story of our war as seen by the men fighting it.
When the first Japanese planes roared over Manila Bay, Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 3 went into action.
They Were Expendable offers an account of Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Three's heroic actions during the disastrous Philippine campaign early in World War II.
The author uses an unusual and effective format to tell the story: an interview with the four young survivors whose names are forever linked with the tragedy - John Bulkeley, Robert Kelly, Anthony Akers, and George Cox.
Deeply moving, it describes Squadron Three's brave exploits, from the first appearance of Japanese planes over Manila Bay to its calamitous end, including a thrilling account of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's escape from Bataan.
