| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "In the spring of 1942, the Japanese Imperial Army overwhelmed United States forces in the Philippine Islands.
The Japanese forcibly marched 76,000 prisoners 60 miles over what became known as The Death Road.
In just over a week, 10,000 men were dead from murder, starvation, disease and exposure.
This is the story of one who survived....
Skillfully weaving POW experiences with youthful memories reminiscent of Tom Sawyer, Joe and his friends lived along the Rio Grande river in Albuquerque, New Mexico...
...They grew up together
...Went to war together
...Became POWs together
Some died horrendous deaths...others lived...
This is his story of courage and the triumph of the human spirit."
