| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account by a medical doctor (Harvard trained and who joined the US Army in 1940) in the Fort McKinley hospital at the start of the war. He details his experiences in the hospital in Little Baguio, Bataan; surrender on April 9; the difficulties of a doctor without medicine in the prison camps of O'Donnell and Cabanatuan; hell ship to Japan and liberation. Well-written, this was one of the first books to be published about Bataan and the American POW experience in the Philippines and Japan. It remains a standard work in researching and understanding what happened during the war, and how the American POWs, particularly the doctors, went to great lengths in order to survive - and help their comrades live. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
