Wonderful history I knew nothing about
Some reviews not good, but I thought it very good. I am a history lover. Still feeling conflicted about how it ended.

POW Story
This book contained several elementary errors. The writing was also deficient, sounding like a receital of facts rather than a well written book. I do not recommend it.

Story of war
At first I didn't think I would be able to finish this work. But as I got going it became easier. And I spoke with a couple of my father's fellow p.o.w.camp mates they confirmed that sometimes the action written about did happen-but it was stressed that those actions were not the norm and people should not believe it was something "just done". I in the end -I liked the book.

Absolutely Mind Boggling
Until the end, I expected a different outcome. Prayed for one. Couldn't believe when there wasn't. I still can't get through writing this review without it becoming a spoiler except to say that the author did an excellent job in presenting the story. It is gut wrenching and shameful for the lack of true justice. I highly recommend this book for history buffs and those interested in moral and legal issues.
