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 Valentine’s father, who’d 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 father’s 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of life in a terrible POW camp, it is also a significant historical
document about a place that the U.S. military says never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 Weekly
