The book begins with the Death March, then describes conditions in Camp O’Donnell, Davao Penal Colony, Cabanatuan, the hell ship Oryoku Maru, and prison camp in Fukuoka. He quotes heavily from an article, “Voyage of the Death Ships,â€Â written by correspondent George Weller of the Chicago Daily Tribune.
