Profiles of Survival: The Experiences of American POWs in the Philippines

The Stories of seven men and one woman who survived the horrors of captivity under the Japanese in the Pacific are captured in vivid detail by author John Shively. These eight stationed in the Philippines were ordered to surrender following the fall of Batann and Corregidor in 1942. It was the largest surrender of American armed forces in U.S. history. For many, it was the beginning of three years of hell.
