Kari (deltatiger) reviewed Moving and compelling on 11/20/2008 + 74 more book reviews

Highly readable, with flowing text that truly draws you into the experience, the book does not flinch at telling the suffering and cruelty experienced by the survivors of the Bataan death march by the Japanese. In spite of the difficulty of reading about the experiences, the book is compelling and almost impossible to put down.

The author draws on his interviews with survivors to construct a suspenseful and moving book that left me in tears, and I do not often cry when reading history.

Highly recommended for anyone at all, not just those who are interested in World War II or war stories in general. An absolute must read.
