Publisher's full green cloth gilt lettering on spine and red panel on spine US Eagle medallion on cover. Profusely illustrated with many B&W photographs 11 Tables and 25 maps throughout fold-out maps 17 22 and 23 are bound at the rear. NB: The volume serves as a detailed case study of how a mismatch between a nation's foreign policy obligations and its actual military capabilities can lead to catastrophic defeat. It spans four primary phases: Pre-war Preparedness and Strategy: Explores the creation of the U.S. Army Forces in the Far East USAFFE under General Douglas MacArthur and the tactical conflict between War Plan Orange-3 and MacArthur's aggressive strategy to defend the entire archipelago. Invasion and Tactical Retreat: Details the devastating Japanese air-strikes hours after Pearl Harbor the subsequent amphibious landings on Luzon and the forced strategic withdrawal of Allied forces into the Bataan Peninsula. The Siege of Bataan: Focuses on the gritty three-month defensive struggle where starving disease-ridden American and Filipino soldiers held out against relentless Japanese assaults until their unconditional surrender on April 9 1942. The Fall of Corregidor: Chronicles the final stand at the island fortress of Corregidor including life inside Malinta Tunnel MacArthur's evacuation to Australia and Lieutenant General Jonathan Wainwright's ultimate surrender of 78000 troops. Following the surrender captured Allied personnel were subjected to a brutal 60-to-65-mile forced march under scorching heat with minimal food and water costing thousands of lives. The surrender marked the largest capitulation in United States military history resulting in roughly 20000 Americans and 70000 Filipinos taken into captivity. The volume remains required reading for military strategists examining the consequences of underfunding overseas forces and ignoring the clear warning signs of imminent geopolitical conflicts.

2000réf. 74941Aberdeen Proving Grounds MD: U. S Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense USAMRICD 2000. Third Edition. Wraps. Good. 4 290 8 pages. Fold-out illustration. Tables. Glossary of Terms. Index. Title page has been removed. The purpose of this handbook is to provide medical personnel in the field a concise pocket-sized reference source for the medical management of chemical casualties. It is not intended to be a definitive text on the management of chemical casualties. The end of World War II did not stop the development stockpiling or use of chemical weapons. During the Yemen War of 1963 through 1967 Egypt probably used mustard bombs in support of South Yemen against royalist troops in North Yemen. The U.S. which used defoliants and riot-control agents in Vietnam and Laos ratified the Geneva Protocol in 1975 but with the stated reservation that the treaty did not apply either to defoliants or riot-control agents. The Soviet Union was accused of using chemical agents in Afghanistan. The United States Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense USAMRICD is a military medical research institute located at Aberdeen Proving Ground Maryland. It is the leading science and technology laboratory of the Department of Defense for the development testing and evaluation of medical chemical warfare countermeasures to treat casualties of chemical warfare agents. The mission of USAMRICD includes fundamental and applied research in the pharmacology physiology toxicology pathology and biochemistry of chemical agents and their medical countermeasures. The Institute with the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases educates health care providers in the medical management of chemical and biological agent casualties. The USAMRICD supports a Chemical/Biological Rapid Response Team C/B-RRT supports and trains Area Medical Laboratory personnel and maintains a chemical surety facility. U.
