More about the book

The narrative follows six prisoners of war from diverse backgrounds during the Pacific War, highlighting their harrowing experiences. Garth Dunn, a Marine, endures a brutal prison camp, while Kazuo Sakamaki grapples with the stigma of being Japan's first POW. European expatriates Simon and Lydia Peters navigate a perilous existence in the Philippines, and Mitsuye Takahashi, a U.S. citizen of Japanese descent, faces imprisonment by her own country. Masashi Itoh, a Japanese soldier, struggles with his conscience in hiding. Their stories reflect resilience and the will to survive against overwhelming odds.
