Seth Paridon walks through a 1945 propaganda documentary produced by MacArthur's command, covering the Southwest Pacific theatre from the Philippines' fall to the Missouri surrender. Interesting as a primary-source discussion, though commentary on a film is inherently one step removed from the history itself.
