Comments: In this extraordinary story of World War II, the author’s father, who enlisted in the army at the age of sixteen, describes the terrible experiences that affected the course of his life.
Captured by the Japanese while on patrol in the fetid jungles of New Guinea, he was sent to a prison camp in the Philippines, where he was interned with Australian and British soldiers.
A celebration of camaraderie, and a testament to “the soldier’s faith,” this is a story of murder, mutiny, and an incredible military cover-up.
