| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account of an American medic who enlisted in February 1941 and was sent to the Philippines in October. Assigned to Sternberg Hospital in Manila, he was sent to the hospital at Clark Field and was soon busy taking care of the wounded. He was moved to Bataan, where he was attached to the 31st Infantry (US) recovering wounded and administering first aid. He kept a diary and quotes from it often; during the surrender he gave it to a Filipino with the request that it be mailed to his parents. He endured the Death March, prison camp (Camp O'Donnell, Cabanatuan and Bilibid) and was scheduled to board a hell ship to Japan but had to stay behind because of sickness. He was liberated in Bilibid in 1945. He ends with his return to the US. (His later book, "Under the Rising Sun," is an expanded version of this volume) - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
