Briefly describes the author’s experiences on Corregidor (his unit was assigned to maintain Kindley Field) and Bataan, but most of the memoir focuses on his prisoner of war experiences: the Death March, Camp O’Donnell, Cabanatuan, hell ship to Japan, prison labor in Fukuoka.
There are some inaccuracies, which reflect what the author – or his writer – read, rather than his own experiences. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
