The greatest human conflict of all time, also had the greatest stories of the human condition. I've read quite a few books that were written around the personal accounts of heroes and victims, and just ordinary folks caught up in truly extraordinary circumstances.
But none that I've read were as compelling as the story of an American airman and his experience in the Pacific. His story of survival through the crash of his B-24, eight weeks adrift in a life raft and then almost two years in two of the most brutal Japanese POW camps, is a story everyone should read. Do NOT miss it.
