John S. Coleman, an air force officer assigned to the Philippines, was among those who fought on Bataan and lived to tell about it. Based on a shorthand diary he kept at great risk throughout his imprisonment, this terse account details the combat on Bataan, the horrors of the march, and the desperate conditions that were his lot as a POW during the next three and a half years. The courage and ingenuity of those surviving when survival seemed impossible comes through vividly in this unembellished narrative.
