The author calls the dash to Manila to save the lives of prisoners held at Santo Tomas and Bilibid "...one of the most daring missions of the Pacific War.."My father was one of the 800 troopers who slipped into Manila and rescued the prisoners at Santo Tomas in February of 1945. Before he passed away, I managed to persuade him to talk about his experiences during the dash to Manila, going through the front gate of the prison, and later, fighting in the battle of Manila. He was wounded twice.​Even when talking with him about ​the Cavalry's rescue of the prisoners held at ​Santo Tomas​, and even knowing that he had been ​h​it in the collar bone by Jap shrapnel in the prison,​ (one inch to the left, and it would have killed him), and later during the battle of Manila he was wounded when a hand grenade exploded spewing shrapnel into his face,​ I had NO idea that the bombardment of the prison was so heavy ​and lethal and that the battle itself was so horrible ​until reading this book. The rescue truly was a daring operation. ​ Why Spielberg or Eastwood or Gibson do not make a film of this, I have no idea.People who had survived over 3 years of abuse, starvation, executions of friends are killed while holding hands in the main building. I saw the pock marks on the building when I was there in 2010. One cavalryman came into the main building holding a bundle wrapped in a poncho​. He was dazed like in a trance. He went up to one of the doctors and asked "What should I do with this?" The doctor unwrapped the bundle. It was the upper torso of the cavalryman's best friend.In New Guinea, in the Admiralty Islands, on Leyte, and then in Manila, my father saw the results of many Japanese atrocities, day in and day out. He only spoke of one such horror and refused to revisit so many others. This book lays such horrors out in detail and those details will rob most people of sleep. Reading Rampage, I understand my father so much better now.​Anyone with a feeling for the Philippines or interested in the Pacific War should read this book.​
I had tracked the release of this book for over 6 months because a detailed updated description of the battle for Manila has been lacking. I had anticipated a book of military history such as the recently released account of the battle for Hue. The author of Rampage has certainly conducted extensive research into the subject matter and the book is very well written. However describing it as military history is very misleading. The book describes military operations in a very generalized manner. As I read through the account I considered myself lucky when unit identifications less than division size were provided. His misuse of common nomenclature when differentiating between regiments and divisions add to the confusion. The lack of adequate maps showing in detail the progress of fighting within the city is another gross omission. The author spends what seems to be about 85% of this book describing the atrocities which were committed by the Japanese upon civilians and prisoners in the city. The research on this subject was obviously extensive and these terrible events are described in overwhelming detail. The trouble is that the focus on the suffering of the civilians is overdone to the detriment of the description of military events which are at best cursory. In sum, I would consider the book a questionable addition to the descriptions of the battle found in more general narratives of the Pacific area fighting. The author is referred to the aforementioned study of Hue or to Colonel Glantz's descriptions of the Stalingrad fighting for how the military history of fighting within a city should be described. The end product of this book is principally about atrocities, not military operations. Furthermore his descriptions of the motivations and actions of MacArthur and Yamashita are lacking in depthVery disappointed.
This is an important book to read about a major WWII battle that has been largely ignored. The author doesn't spare the reader the details of the horrid and bestial war crimes committed. If you are a sensitive person, this book may be too much for you. I had to put it aside several times and found myself weeping more than once. It was a story that should have been told a long time ago. The account of Yamashita's war crimes trial was very interesting. I had no idea it was so controversial.This is well worth reading for anyone interested in WWII history or war crimes.
