N2  - Personal account by an aircraft mechanic of the 91st Bombardment Squadron. He had enlisted in 1940, and was sent to the Philippines , arriving in Fort McKinley just two weeks before the war started. The squadron’s planes never arrived.

He narrates his experiences at the start of the war; in Bataan; going on the Death March, and surviving prison camp (Camp O’Donnell, Cabanatuan), prison ship to Japan. Moody was chosen to testify in the Tokyo war crimes trials as a representative of those who were tortured by the Death March. Apart from writing about his wartime experiences, he devotes much of his book to the post-war war crimes trials, and the fates of the Japanese. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
