SURRENDER AND SURVIVAL: THE EXPERIENCE OF AMERICAN POW'S IN THE PACIFIC 1914-1945
Kerr, E. Bartlett
1985 50545 Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good Book Jacket. Out of Print. 6 x 9". Few people know what happened to the 25.000 American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who were captured in the Pacific during World War II. Only 3 out of 5 of the prisoners survived their harrowing ordeal, but their homecoming was virtually ignored because their grim experiences would have been unpopular in the midst of the jubilant homecoming of millions of other servicemen. This interesting book is a commendably objective account of the treatment of American POWs at the hands of the Japanese and the reasons for that treatment. The tale of these American prisoners of war is frightening and sad, but it is told here with equanimity. ' Surrender and Survival' illuminates a chapter in the history of World War II that has too long been obscured. William Morrow & Company 0-688-04344-5 / 9780688043445
