I might buy it off Amazon. But sounds like a good read.

As a side note, my own father (a Filipino that lived during the Japanese invasion) for years had a disdain for anything Japanese. He even disliked my taking a Japanese language class in college!

The photo is of Ben Steele as a POW at a Japanese coal mine prison camp in 1944. 25,000 Filipino soldiers and 1,500 American soldiers died during the Bataan Death March.
