Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "Milt Ellis, assigned to the Naval Station in Guam in 1941 to assist in whipping up a force of fighting men, had no inkling of the terror and poverty that were to plague him and upwards of four hundred fifty other men during their years in Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. Survival Amidst the Ashes is the valiant history of these men during their capture and imprisonment in the Zentsumi prison camp, the day-to-day struggle of the prisoners just to stay on a diet of meagre rations while braving the generally inhuman treatment by their captors..."
