A very dramatic and] compelling World War II story of murder, mutiny, and a military cover-up, from the author of The Phoenix Program (The New York Times). Captured by the Japanese while on patrol in the fetid jungles of New Guinea, Douglas Valentines father, whod enlisted in the US Army at age sixteen, was sent to a prison camp in the Philippines, where he was interned with Australian and British soldiers. The events that followed make up this well-told, chilling story of betrayal and brutality--a powerful tale of a son uncovering the traumatic events that shaped the rest of his fathers life (Los Angeles Times Book Review). Not just a searing picture of life in a terrible POW camp, it is also a significant historical document about a place that the U.S. military says never existed. --Publishers WeeklyAbout the AuthorDouglas Valentine is the author of four books of historical nonfiction: The Hotel Tacloban, The Phoenix Program: Americas Use of Terror in Vietnam, The Strength of the Wolf: The Secret History of Americas War on Drugs, and The Strength of the Pack: The Personalities, Politics and Espionage Intrigues that Shaped the DEA.
