The Battle of the Pockets and MacArthur’s Departure

Seth Paridon and John Parshall cover the February 1942 Battle of the Pockets on Bataan, where Japanese forces — having pushed the Fil-American defenders off their main line of resistance — ran headlong into prepared defensive positions and stalled badly, outrunning their own supply lines. The episode also addresses MacArthur's controversial departure from the Philippines. Good operational detail on a phase of the campaign that rarely gets this kind of granular treatment.
