American POWs in World War II : Twelve Personal Accounts of Captivity by Germany and Japan

These accounts describe the battle and POW experiences of twelve American military men captured by either Germany or Japan during World War II.

Brutality, frostbite, disease, hunger, strenuous working conditions, and the jubilation of release are presented in the words of the soldiers, who describe such events as the Bataan Death March, the battle for Wake Island, D-Day, and the Battle of the Bulge and vividly portray the camps where they watched their comrades in arms suffer and perish.

The book also features photographs, maps, camp lists, and POW regulations.
