• Sommario/riassunto: Major Bert Bank recounts his harrowing experiences as a prisoner of war during World War II. Captured by Japanese forces on the Bataan Peninsula, he endured the infamous Bataan Death March and 33 months of brutal captivity in various prison camps. The narrative details the inhumane conditions faced by prisoners, including starvation, forced labor, and disease. The book culminates in a dramatic rescue by U.S. Rangers and Filipino guerrillas, highlighting the resilience and courage of those who survived.
