I think that this book should be required reading for all High School Students.
The trials and bravery shown throughout this book makes one realize just how lucky we are to live in the United States of America, which is still FREE, only because of brave Men (and Women) in our Armed Forces.
I also purchased a copy for my Dad, a wounded Korean War Veteran. He knew a man who survived the Bataan Death March.
I could not put this book down and read it straight through from beginning to end.
