Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "The author was sent to Manila, Philippines as a junior officer in Japanese Imperial army in the final stage of the Asia Pacific war in April 1944 and became a prisoner of the U.S military after the war there. The book is a daily about his experience of war and prisoner in Philippines. One of the great differences between this book and others is that there are hardly descriptions the cruel scenes about war in the book. Instead, there are some description scenic beauty in Philippines in this book." - Masuko Takehisa
