In the spring of 1942, the Japanese 14th Army overran Bataan Peninsula on the island of Luzon in the Philippines and captured 78,000 American and Filipino troops. Almost immediately, a curtain of silence settled over Bataan, concealing from the rest of the world the grim fate of the thousands of prisoners who died during the infamous "Death March" of Bataan. A terrifying account of torture, barbarity and humiliation, this is the first book to tell the whole story of one of the darkest episodes of the Pacific War.
