They faded like smoke into the jungle, leaving behind 700 dead. The defenders' toll was terrible too: at least 108 dead (including 18 Americans), 46 wounded, 126 missing and presumed dead. Along the defense perimeter lay twelve disemboweled children. An American, his body as black and twisted as a burnt match, sprawled among...
