• Sommario/riassunto: The book 'The Stragglers' by E. J. Kahn, Jr. explores the experiences of Japanese soldiers who remained hidden in the jungles of Guam long after World War II had ended. It delves into the lives of Masashi Ito and Bunzo Minagawa, who were among the last to surrender, highlighting their survival in the dense foliage of Guam while cut off from the world. The author gathers facts through interviews with former soldiers and extensive research during a trip to the Far East in 1961. The book provides insight into the cultural and historical context of Guam, the impact of the war on the island, and the resilience of those who hid for years, driven by fear and a lack of knowledge about the war's conclusion. It is intended for readers interested in post-war history, survival stories, and the human aspects of wartime experiences.
