When it comes to history books (especially ones about wars and violent conflicts), it's always a good idea to read first those written by men and women who actually experienced the wars and conflicts being talked about in the book. This is what makes this book special and a must-read for history buffs. It was written by someone who actually was there and participated in the infamous march.
Dyess was shipped to Manila in the spring of 1941 as an army pilot. The young Texan was among those captured when the combines American and Filipino forces surrendered to the Japanese army. In a daring attempt to achieve freedom, Dyess escaped from his POW camp and made it back to the United States. He was among those who first brought home actual reports about the unimaginable suffering experienced by Filipino and American soldiers during the Bataan Death March.
Historical articles about the Bataan Death March are often too neutral and devoid of sympathy. They usually list the numbers and statistics of the wars. In his book, Dyess gives these statistics their well-deserved humanity. He puts faces to the thousands who suffered and died during and after the march.
