I Am Alive! : A United States Marine's Story of Survival in a World war II Japanese POW Camp
reviewed on + 125 more book reviews


This is an excellent memoir of the horrors of surviving a Japanese WWII POW camp, including the Bataan Death March. The author writes a very readable narrative with numerous character studies of captives and captors and proves himself to be a man of great courage, observation and compassion. Nice clean copy, would be a great gift for the service man or woman in your family, or an honored veteran.
