Summary: There are better accounts out there
Comment: I have no doubt that Jacobs actually participated in the ordeals at Bataan and Corregidor. Those people suffered terribly at the hands of the Japanese. Though he gives quite an accurate account of the situation, right down to the activities of the 14th Infantry, I felt as though I was reading a technical manual or something. Mr. Jacobs and others like him went through terrible attrocities and I don't doubt his trauma one bit. I just feel that this story could have been written with a bit more feeling. Historically, it tells the tale from a different perspective of the battle of Bataan during WWII. Jacobs was in the 14th Infantry, engaged in guerilla warfare during the time of the entrapment and eventual surrender at Bataan. While he did not undergo the starvation on the pinensula and the subsequent "Death March", he endured his share of slave labor, tropical illness, starvation and beatings by the Japanese. If you want to read more about the time that Americans spent on the Bataan pinensula awaiting reinforcements that never came (thanks to Douglas MacAurhur), and the horror of the Death March, read "We Band of Angels". With all of that said, this book is still a good historical reference of the Pacific theater in WWII.
