What an amazing account of this man's life!! My father fought in World War II in the Navy, and I wish he was alive today so we could talk about his experiences. This book is a much more detailed report of the gruesome happenings in this war on the Japanese end, and needs to be read by everyone! Much has been publicized about the German annilations of the Jews by Hitler (which should never be forgotten), but the Japanese annilated their prisoners of war in as bad a way and in great numbers! They humiliated and starved and murdered them. It gives me a whole new view as to reasons for why the U.S. reacted the way they did to the Asian population here during that war. There were times when I felt like I had read enough, but if you begin this book, you must read until the end. It is so worth the total journey. I just thank this author for her total dedication to finding truths and putting them to the pen. WOW!
