I wanted to research the events of the war around the prisoners in the Japanese prison camps as a relative was one of those prisoners. The book is very readable and interesting, nothing held back or covered up. It makes one feel deeply about man's inhumanity to man and the recklessness of war. This is a rather thick book but I was entranced. First I read a copy from the library, then got this one in case I wanted to quote it later. I am writing a book including my step- relative and this work has made me understand at least some of the psychological wounds he suffered and the manifestations in his and our lives. Hopefully this understanding will make me more compassionate to him and maybe I can forgive all he did up to when I last knew him. Everything else must be forgiven by God. Can humanity ever be forgiven for all the senseless death and cruelty man had wreaked upon others?Read full review

I had read this book I had gotten from my local library. I read it looking for information about a family member that was a prisoner of war. And after i read this book I had to have it. It was very enlightening. After reading it I changed my mind about MacArthur and others that were in command in WW 2. I would recommend it to any school teacher to read and use it in school, to really give the students the real happenings of those held by the Japanese. Sure it is very graphic but is it well worth it. And for the price it was WELL worth it. Even if I had to buy it at a bookstore it is worth it. A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ book
