About This Item
(Subject: World War II - Far East) This book includes a letter signed by the author to a previous owner. The memoir of a young, newly married American tank crewman who was captured during the fall of the Philippines at the start of World War II. He spent three-and-a-half years as a Japanese Prisoner of War, being forced to walk under the hot sun for 12 days to a prison camp on Bataan. The prisoners died by the score from thirst and disease or were executed by brutal Japanese guards. Tenney managed to escape early in his captivity and joined a guerrilla band but he was soon recaptured and put on a notorious "hell ship" bound for Japan. With a fierce determination to see his wife and home again, he endured the rest of the war as a slave in a Japanese coal mine. Then one day he saw a strange cloud over nearby Nagasaki, and set off through Japanese towns to find the US forces.
