- Summary, etc. - "The Naked Soldier is the inspiring story of Jesse Mallares Baltazar, a survivor of the infamous Philippine Bataan Death March during World War II... In his book, Baltazar vividly recounts his WWII experiences in the Pacific theater of operations. He was a staff sergeant in the 71st Battalion of the United States Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) under General Douglas MacArthur. His left leg was hit by a bomb during a Japanese air raid, and he was subsequently captured. He survived the horrors of the Bataan Death March, managing to escape with the help of two villagers under cover of darkness. Later he scouted on enemy camps."
