After the fall of the Philippines in World War II, more than 70,000 American and Filipino soldiers were captured by Japanese forces and forced to endure the brutal Bataan Death March. Over 30 percent of these POWs died in captivity, compared to just 3 percent of Allied POWs held by the Germans.
In his powerful firsthand account, the late Dr. Lester Tenney recounts one of World War II’s darkest chapters and his miraculous survival against all odds.
