Helpful Score: 3

This is absolutely the best book I've ever read. After listening to my dads stories about flying during WWII in the Pacific, I recognized island names and such and could put a personal spin on it.
You will laugh, cry and hold your breath as you read this. It is powerful. Yet even with the terrific narratives given of the experiences of the men held captive, I can't truly imagine what it must have been like.
This book should be in all high schools and be required reading. It's an easy read and would (hopefully) keep students attention to the very end. PLEASE read this and then give the book to a student to learn about a very important time in our history - one that's not really covered in school history classes.
