On December 14, 1944, Japanese soldiers massacred 139 of 150
American POWs. This biography tells the story of Glenn (""Mac"")
McDole, one of eleven young men who escaped and the last man out of
Palawan Prison Camp 10A. Beginning on December 8, 1941, at the U.S.
Navy Yard barracks at Cavite, the story of this young lowan soldier
continues through the fighting on Corregidor, the capture and
imprisonment by the Japanese Imperial Army in May 1942, Mac's entry
into the Palawan prison camp in the Philippines on August 12, 1942,
the terrible conditions he and his comrades endured in the camps,
and the terrible day when 139 young soldiers were slaughtered. The
work details the escapes of the few survivors as they dug into
refuse piles, hid in coral caves, and slogged through swamp and
jungle to get to supportive Filipinos. It also contains an account
and verdicts of the war crimes trials of the Japanese guards,
follow-ups on the various places and people referred to in the
text, with descriptions of their present situations, and a roster
of the names and hometowns of the victims of the Palawan massacre.
