The Last Bastion goes behind closed doors and into the minds of the big decision makers – world dignitaries Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Australia's John Curtin, and General Douglas MacArthur. The boundaries are set - transports carrying thousands of men, naval fleets and army divisions are strategically positioned – pawns on over-sized world maps, as a high-stakes game of chess develops between the allies and against the enemy.
