 "[A] tour de force."--Publishers Weekly starred review ***
Jimmy Propfield joined the army for two reasons: to get out of
Mobile, Alabama, with his best friends Hank and Billy and to forget
his high school sweetheart, Claire. Life in the Philippines seems
like paradise--until the morning of December 8, 1941, when news
comes from Manila: Imperial Japan has bombed Pearl Harbor. Within
hours, the teenage friends are plunged into war as enemy warplanes
attack Luzon, beginning a battle for control of the Pacific Theater
that will culminate with a last stand on the Bataan Peninsula and
end with the largest surrender of American troops in history. What
follows will become known as one of the worst atrocities in modern
warfare: the Bataan Death March. With no hope of rescue, the three
friends vow to make it back home together. But the ordeal is only
the beginning of their nearly four-year fight to survive. Inspired
by true stories, The Long March Home is a gripping coming-of-age
tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the power of unrelenting hope.
