Captured there by the Japanese, he endured three and a half years of POW conditions described in subsequent war crimes trials as the worst of World War II. This book is built around a diary he smuggled through countless inspections during his imprisonment. A detailed account of the voyage of the \"hellships\" carrying prisoners from Manila to Japan; the disease, the hunger, and the different ways prisoners coped--or failed to cope--with their ordeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47585229734039,"sku":"9780786442515","price":1937.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786442515.webp?v=1774959570","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/captured-on-corregidor-diary-of-an-american-p-o-w-in-world-war-ii-9780786442515","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
