| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "The author writes this book in the first person, as if she were her husband, who was captured in the Philippines. J.D. Kellett was on the Nicholas Field detail and then sent to Oeyama camp, near Osaka, in early 1944. Kellett relays that the camp "teamed with bullies, stool pigeons, thieves and traitors," none worse than his American officers, who beat enlisted men, one even to death. At war's end, according to Kellett, the prisoners seized weapons from the guards, beat the senior English POW officer, and killed the Japanese camp commander." - Roderick Hall
