• Sommario/riassunto: Reprieve from Hell by Master Sergeant Samuel B. Moody and Maury Allen, with contributions from Major General E. P. King, Jr. and Brigadier General William Hipps, is an autobiographical account of Sgt. Moody's experiences as a prisoner of war under Japanese captivity during World War II. The book details the harrowing conditions faced by American and Filipino soldiers following the surrender of Bataan, as well as the brutal 'Death March' and subsequent internment in Japanese POW camps. Through his personal narrative, Moody sheds light on the resilience and courage of the captured servicemen, highlighting the strategic significance of their resistance in delaying Japanese advances in Southeast Asia. Intended for a patriotic American audience, the book serves as both a testament to the horrors of war and a tribute to the enduring spirit of those who fought and suffered for their country.
