"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose." - President Eisenhower, First Inaugural Address

Friday Films- All by himself? -"MacArthur Liberates Manila" and "Marines Invade Iwo Jima" (1945)
Mark, this is a great film to publish as it gives a visual experience of the rape of Manila. Ian Toll's "Twilight of the Gods" offers detail of the atrocities committed by the IJA. Most people are familiar with the rape of Nanking, but I think that was eclipsed by the horror of Manila. Good post.
