None of the four teenage youths who met on the tennis court the
summer before entering Eastern High School imagined that during
their next three high school years, they would become inseparable.
By graduation day, two of the youths had become casualties of
tragic accidents. Unhappily, only Bob Johnson and Forrest
Montgomery remained at graduation. The effects of the two tragedies
and the patriotic complexion of the country at the outbreak of
World War II may well have been responsible for Bob's and Forrest's
early decision to enlist. Their fate was the Battle of the Pacific
and the fall of Bataan. Bob was wounded, scarcely managing to
survive the ninety mile death march to the Camp O'Donnell prison
and near death when he did. Frequently clashing with Captain
Savage, and ignoring his command, Forrest did what it took to keep
Bob alive. His court martial was inevitable. At the close of the
war Captain Savage risked his career to court martial the man he
hated. The intense court martial and the truly accurate account of
life in Camp O'Donnell characterize the novel.
