Book Description
This is the war diary of one of the longest-serving American POWs in the Pacific. Walter Hinkle was wounded and captured during the Japanese invasion of the Philippines and remained a prisoner for almost the entire war. He had a leg amputated in the prison camp and later used his wooden leg to hide his growing diary.
