Description:
New book, 297 pages. This is an exceptionally well written memoir of a young U.S. Navy junior officers combat experiences during the battle of the Java Sea and of his life as a Prisoner of War after his destroyer was sunk in action in 1942. As a POW, he recounts surprisingly humane treatment by the Japanese as he lived with other POW's in the Dutch East Indies, then in Nagasaki, and finally in China where he was freed in 1945.
