Overview

Captured by the Japanese on Corregidor in 1942, the author, a Navy medic, found himself aiding many of his fellow captives who had been wounded in the defense of the island. This is his story of imprisonment by the Japanese at camps in the Philippines, Japan and Manchuria. His remembrances of caring for the sick and wounded at Bilibid and the brutal Cabanatuan prison camps where starvation, malnutrition, diseases and degradation were a way of life are included. Also detailed are his journey aboard the Japanese hellship Oryoku Maru that left Manila with 1,619 prisoners but arrived in Japan with fewer than 400 survivors and his liberation from a camp in Mukden, Manchuria, by Russian troops.
