Product Description
Author: Michael Harold Hyer
About Product: Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were among US soldiers in World War II who endured the atrocities of the Bataan Death March in the Philippines and the brutality of prisoner-of-war camps. This is the story, largely told through their personal accounts, of a group of twenty-nine Latter-day Saint POWs in the Philippines, the circumstances that brought them together to form an informal branch of the Church in an infamous POW camp, and the events that would later pull them apart—twelve to their liberation and seventeen to their death.
