<p>A true life story by Ben Waldron who kept a day-to-day diary for 3 1/2 years as a Prisoner of War under the Japanese.  He tells about the 5 months of fierce fighting & bombing & capture of Corregidor & how some 12,000 men survived the first 21 days as hostages.  Waldron was placed in 5 different P.O.W. camps in the Philippines.  For the next two years, he suffered beatings, hunger, thirst & blistering heat.  He writes how men survived against the odds of Disease, Malnutrition, Torture & Despondency through the inner willpower to live.  These incidents, while unbelievable, are true.  July 1944 Waldron was among 1,500 P.O.W.s packed in the hold of a ship & spent 62 days enroute to Japan.  The horror & deaths on this Hell Ship were as you could not imagine.  His last year was spent in the high mountains of Japan, where he experienced freezing cold, hunger, & beatings.  When told he was going home, it was an emotional time, hard to believe.  This book won the Book of the Year Award for 1989 & 1990 by the American Bookdealers Exchange of California.  See Book Review, EX POW BULLETIN, March 1990 by George Falconer, editor.
