Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - Personal account by an American enlisted man with the US Army Air Corps. Briefly describes the author's experiences on Corregidor (his unit was assigned to maintain Kindley Field) and Bataan, but most of the memoir focuses on his prisoner of war experiences: the Death March, Camp O'Donnell, Cabanatuan, hell ship to Japan, prison labor in Fukuoka. There are some inaccuracies, which reflect what the author - or his writer - read, rather than his own experiences. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
