review 1: Every American should read this book. Anyone that thinks the USA was wrong to drop the atomic bombs on Japan needs to read this book. After reading this book I fully understand that the Japanese would have fought until every man, woman and child was killed by Allied forces if the USA had to invade Japan. I has brought to tears when I read about the unspeakable treatment suffered by American service men and other POWs at the hands of the Japanese.
review 2: Though by nature, this book was a darker read, it was also eye-opening to learn of these true accounts of wartime and the way these four men's lives were affected by their tortured experiences as young POWs. An interesting dichotomy between the heroic deeds of this "greatest generation" and the moral decli... morene their lifepaths took. Gave me a greater knowledge and appreciation for how this generation was shaped to become the way it did. less
