2725 The Hike into the Sun: Memoir of an American Soldier Captured on Bataan in 1942 and Imprisoned by the Japanese until 1945, by Bernard T. Fitzpatrick with John A. Sweeter III (read 1 Apr 1995) The author was a Minnesota man drafted in April 1941. He was sent to the Philippines in Sept 1941 and was captured when Bataan fell. This is a good book and is not unrelievedly horrible. He tells of Japanese atrocities but also of humane good Japanese. He ended up in Japan at war's end. The story is well if artlessly told. He is very critical of MacArthur. This is a book well worth reading. (

My grandpa's cousin bernie Fitzpatrick was taken prisoner by the Japanese and, after being marched across Bataan to a brutal POW camp, was taken by ship to slave in a steel mill. He survived, and lived almost sixty more years.

I wish I could find my copy of this book, missing since about 2003. (
