The Last Charge and The Battle of the Points: Jan-Feb 1942 on Bataan – Episode 609
Paridon and Parshall dig into I Corps operations on western Bataan in January 1942 — the 26th Cavalry's last horse charge at Morong and the desperate fighting at the Points, where Japanese infiltration attempts along the coast created a series of brutal small-unit engagements. At 1 hour 40 minutes, this is the kind of granular tactical coverage the Bataan campaign rarely gets. The discussion of Wainwright's impossible arithmetic — stretching an exhausted, under-supplied force across a perimeter it could never adequately hold — is particularly well handled.
