(j.g.) Murray Glusman) featured in this book.
Extremely readable but also well documented, Glusman follows the travails of four US Navy doctors in Bataan and Corregidor, their experiences as tending to the sick as POWs in the Philippines and in the labor camps in Bataan.
The author travelled to many of the sites he describes in this book, accompanied by his father when he was able. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
