SynopsisLike many other young American men during the depression-era 1930s, Gene Boyt entered Franklin D. Roosevelt?s Civilian Conservation Corps. Later, after receiving an ROTC commission in the Army Engineers and a bachelor?s degree in mechanical engineering from the Missouri School of Mines, Boyt joined the Allied forces in the Pacific Theater. While building runways and infrastructure in the Philippines in 1941, Boyt enjoyed the regal life of an American officer stationed in a tropical paradise--but not for long. When the United States surrendered the Philippines to Japan in April 1942, Boyt became a prisoner of war, suffering unthinkable deprivation and brutality at the hands of the ruthless Japanese guards. One of the last accounts to come from a Bataan survivor, Boyt?s story details the infamous Bataan Death March and his subsequent forty-two months in Japanese internment camps. In this fast-paced narrative, Boyt?s voice conveys the quiet courage of the generation of men who fought and won history?s greatest armed conflict., Like many other young American men during the depression-era 1930s, Gene Boyt entered Franklin D.
