Sinopsis
In March 1942, General MacArthur, his wife Jean, his son Arthur, and select members of his staff quietly boarded PT 41 in the Philippines. They were embarking on a dangerous escape attempt. Against all odds, the escape was successful, and from the safety of Australia MacArthur would utter the famous promise: “I shall return.” For the next two and a half years however, those left behind on Bataan and Corregidor knew only captivity, horror, and death. This month’s podcast examines the escape and MacArthur’s thoughts on leaving.
