| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account by an American non-commissioned officer in the defense of the Philippines in 1941-1942. Abraham was with the American 31st Infantry Regiment and fought in Bataan. He witnessed the atrocities in the Death March and suffered the horrors of prison camp life in Camp O'Donnell, Cabanatuan, Bilibid, and finally back to Cabanatuan, where he was liberated by the US Army Rangers in January 1945. Abraham was assigned to a graves' registration detail to locate and recover the remains of Americans who died in the Death March and in prison camp; he thus became the Ghost of Bataan. He testified at the trial of Gen. Homma after the war. He tried to put the horrors of what he had seen behind him, but in 1967, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the fall of Bataan, some Japanese veterans came out to claim the Death March was not real, and that it had only been an instrument of propaganda to make America fight Japan, he decided to write this memoir. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
