Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc - "In these pages, Andy Andrews tells his personal story of three and a half years of captivity as a Japanese POW. He talks about brave U.S. soldiers who were used as slave labor for Japanese Corporations, survived starvation, torture, and extreme Japanese brutality. Not only did they survive, they continuously risked their lives by engaging in sabotage while in captivity. The number of lives saved by the diffused bombs, disrupted shipments and other similar acts will never be known, but their bravery and fortitude will be, through this book." [from the cover]
