Why Did MacArthur Abandon 76,000 Men on Bataan

Why did MacArthur leave 76,000 starving troops on Bataan? The evacuation was ordered by Roosevelt — but the disasters that made it necessary were MacArthur's own making. From the rejection of War Plan Orange, to the destruction of the air force at Clark Field, to the starvation siege, the PT boat escape, and the Bataan Death March — this is the full story of command failure in the Philippines.
