| General Note |
- General note - A powerful account by Army Air Corps pilot, Second Lt. Murray Sneddon, of his ordeal and survival as a prisoner-of-war of the Japanese in the Philippines. - Roderick Hall
|
| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account by a US Army Air Corps pilot with the 2nd Observation Squadron in Nichols Field where his plane was ruined on the first day of the war. Sneddon focuses on his experiences as a prisoner of war, with very little on his experiences in the Bataan campaign. He describes the Death March in detail, and his experiences in Camp O'Donnell, Davao Penal Colony, Lasang, and then hell ship Shinyo Maru. The ship was sunk by an American submarine off Sindangan Point, Mindanao, and Sneddon was among those who were able to escape. He and other escapees were aided by Filipinos, and Sneddon was one of those who were taken out of Mindanao to Australia by the submarine Narwhal. Several documents (one is a list of Americans evacuated from the Philippines) and graphic illustrations add value to the book. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
