About the Book
Volume IV deals exclusively with the 503d PRCT on the island of Negros, in the Southern Philippines. That the 503d PRCT would be spent on what was essentially a “mopping up” campaign in an area of no strategic value, would become perhaps the greatest misuse of a paratroop unit during WWII. It was akin to using your prize axe to break rocks
