An air corps officer who later was elected to the Alabama legislature, where he fought for veterans’ benefits, Bank’s booklet was one of the first post-war accounts to add detail to the Death March and prisoner of war horrors. The booklet begins with the surrender, and does not cover his experiences in the siege of Bataan. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
