The Fall of Bataan document summarizes the surrender of American and Filipino forces in Bataan, Philippines to the Japanese in April 1942. It details how after several initial Japanese landings and the deaths of key generals, General Edward King surrendered the Bataan garrison on April 9th. The surrendering troops were then forced to march over 60 miles to prisoner of war camps, where thousands died along the way. Fighting continued elsewhere on the island until May 6th, when General Jonathan Wainwright surrendered all remaining Allied forces in the Philippines to the Japanese.
